In the old days, I used to like Origin Systems, and Black Isle Studio-games.
Nowadays I feel pretty certain that's it's a great game if it says, Level 5 on the box.
I've also discovered Insomniac, Naughty Dog, Sucker Punch, and Kojima Productions this generation, looked back at older games from their studios, and they look awesome - am abit annoyed that I didn't try them back then, but I'm not interested in playing older bad-gfx games.
Sega has also been awesome this generation. :)
 
ATLUS
Square-Enix (Kitase/Nomura games esp.)
Platinum Games (after playing Bayonetta)
Polyphony
Team ICO
LEVEL - 5


(and whatever team in SEGA makes the Yakuza series)
 
I was just thinking about this yesterday:

Nintendo (internal teams)
Team Ico
Valve
Capcom (internal teams)
Twisted Pixel
Popcap

To me these companies make the most consistently fun and interesting games.
 
Rockstar (gotta love them for pushing the envelope each gen as much as they can)
Ubisoft (love their beautiful games, dont care if they are repetitive just give me some more beautiful vistas)
Team Ico (self-explanatory)
From Software (for Demon's Souls, my most loved and played game ever)

i would include Bethesda too for their ambition, but sorry, my PS3 DLC of Fallout 3 is literally unplayable for more than 5-10min at a time. so fuck them for stealing my money.

ohh and i have special place in my heart for what Konami and Capcom have put out in previous gens... NES, SNES, PS1 and PS2 days were awesome. kinda disappointed with their efforts this gen.. (absolutely loved the first half of MGS4 though but that alone is not enough)
 
SNK (On his golden years)
The studio that made Super Mario Bros, SMB3, Yoshi's Island etc
Insomniac Games
Naughty Dog
Guerrilla Games
Polyphony Digital
Team Ico
Santa Monica
(Pretty much every Sony studio)
Dimps + Capcom
 
Bethesda - Love their style of RPG
Double Fine - Psychonauts, nuff said
Valve - Dedicated to quality. Always count on Valve.
Capcom - They've just been awesome this gen. Awesome is pretty much an understatement.
 
Nintendo
Valve
Platinum Games
Capcom
Team ICO
Treasure
Cave
Wipeout Team

I would include dead eams but that would make a much longer list.
 
Former Favorites
Konami (Before they became the Metal Gear Factory, such a shame)
SNK (NES, Neo Geo Era)
Data East (Various Arcade Classics)
id Software (Doom, Doom 2, Quake 3 Arena)
Square (before the merger, mostly 16/32 bit era)
Namco (Mostly PS1 days. Simply amazing run. Peaked at Soul Calibur for Dreamcast and showed signs of brilliance with Katamari)

Current Favorites
Nintendo
Capcom
Irrational Games
Bethesda
Platinum Games
Atlus

comparing their constant output of high quality games, there´s just no other developer even close to Nintendo.

Im playing the new Prince of Persia at the moment, and it´s a typical example of a big hyped HD-game...totally shallow. So, yeah, my favorite developer is the whole of Nintendo, special mention for EAD, Zelda-group.
