SIXTH game. Halo 1, 2, 3, Wars, ODST, and Reach. I'm thinking you missed Wars.
Wars was developed by Ensemble. Granted, Bungie probably gave them the rights for one game it still wasn't made by them.

Oh yeah, you're right... Hm.. that makes my argument a whole lot less convincing...

Oh well, I still stand by my opinion. Even if it doesn't sway anyone else.

I just realized that I haven't actually answered the OP's question.

Best: Bioware, DICE, Epic Games, 2K Games (more specifically; Irrational Games, previously known as 2K Boston/Australia).

Worst: Square Enix, Team Ninja, Artificial Mind and Movement (A2M).

Why is Square the worst?
Their games just never resonated with me and by the look of their future games I don't think I ever will. Nothing personal Square, you just aint my type.

Valve and BioWare.

Obsidian get worst simply because they fucking infuriate me with stuff that I really want to be good, but just isn't - not anywhere near as good as it should be at any rate.
It could be, though, and that's what's so infuriating. An Obsidian game is like an exact relica of Michelangelo's Pieta made out of dog shit.
That actually made me laugh! Nice one.

I guess best: Konami
Capcom
Bioware
Bethesda

Worst: obsidian
Lucasarts
Treyarch
I haven't liked a Rockstar game since GTA: Vice City so them too I guess

-Every movie-to-game adaptation studio
Rareware would like a few words with you

as for my vote

the best company would be Treasure Inc.

and the worst, well it's already dead, but LJN

with one, and I repeat, ONE good game in their whole portfolio, Spiderman and Venom: Maximum Carnage

Best-SquareSoft
Enix

Before they combined, they came out with some of the best games ever. I don't hate Square Enix now, but I think most people will agree that their quality has reduced a lot compared to the older days when they didn't combine.

Worst-Obsidian/Bethesda

I honestly tried to get into their games, but I really can't. They have really good concepts, but their environments are all dull and their characters fall into the uncanny valley. This is ignoring the fact that they sell you a beta for full price and then fix it up later because god forbid they delay a game to make sure it's higher quality. At least they openly let their community mod their games.

Best--LucasArts (pre-Episode One)

Worst--LucasArts (post-Episode One)

Don't think I've ever seen a developer implode like that. I used to make a point of checking out theirback catalog because they have tons of under-appreciated gems. Now they're fucking gaming Kryptonite.
