I'm going with Nintendo EAD Tokyo, true gods over there.
The true winner here.
Sonic Team, every game they made was awesome.
Nope, there as that one game on the 3D-O and they became crap after Jak 1.
Not being serous.

The general consensus is the game sucks major ass. Comb through some old gaming magazines if you want reviews, you're not gonna find them on Metacritic.
Unusual suspect, but Capybara Games.
Amongst other things, Might and Magic Clash of Heroes, Super Time Force and Superbrothers : Sword and Sorcery.

that...is not an excuse man
Valve. Even EAD has made a few bad games.
Edit: And I'll say Simogo in the indie space. Their first two games are a little fluffy and throwaway, but certainly not bad. Everything post-Beat Sneak Bandit has been remarkable. Other indies with five or more games under their belt, such as Vlambeer and Capy, have had their disappointments.

Diablo 3 and the auction house.
I can't see my farts. Doesn't stop them from stinking.

It's a bad practice but D3 is not a bad game. A bad game is something like Way of the Warrior.

Wikipedia says the game got "mixed reactions".
I think all the long running companies eventually have stinkers. Only 2 off the top of my head I can think of are CD Projekt and Team Ico, because they only have 2 commercially released games each 
How about Neverland company? I never played the Rune Factory games but I've heard good things. They also had a ton of classics - Chaos Seed, Lufia 1 and 2, etc. Maybe "Hat Trick Hero" is bad, I'm not into sports games.

Can confirm, God Hand is awesome. IGN are frauds!
This^ /Thread. Media Molecule!!! LittlebigPlanet 1+2 were well received and Teraway for the vita was great. I haven't checked the metacritic score, but I bet M.M. would be hard to beat.
I'm not sure why you guys are trying to find a developer with a perfect track record. If a developer made many games it's obvious they will have a few failed attempts in there and that is totally fine with me. It's by making mistaking and failing that you end up improving and creating better stuff.
I don't think there's a developer with a perfect track record if they have shipped a lot of games.

Even so it is not a bad game.
Irrational Games
Sorry, Bioshock had a shit way of delivering its story via audio logs. Also both Bioshock and Bioshock Infinite suffer from shit combat controls/scenarios.

I've got to stop you on Bungie, because Marathon isn't a game, it's a punishment.
Kojima and the Foxettes.

Sorry, Naughty Dog made one of the worst fighting games ever made, deal with it.

I mean Halo 4 may not have been the best Halo, but it was a great game.

When you make a lot of games, at some point you are going to fuck up. I can't even list Intelligent Systems despite a great record. Naughty Dog certainly doesn't count either, since some of their early work was fucking awful.
Valve, Platinum, and some specific EAD groups are all I can think of.

Agree on Firaxis. Paradox makes good games but they struggle with their QA

Kojima Productions followed by Irrational Games and Remedy.
Blizzard made Diablo 3, a cancerous tumor on the face of modern gaming.
