TOUGH choice, but if I had to pick...
Square-Enix - Square is the ULTIMATE game company. FFI-XI, Chrono Trigger/Chrono Cross, Kingdom Hearts, the list just goes on and on...
Nintendo - They've made a lot of crap, but they've also made SO much good stuff
Bioware - Kotor, Baldurs Gate, NWN, is there no end to the RPG goodness?
close runners up include
Capcom - for Megaman
Sega - for Sonic
Konami - for DDR
Namco - for Xenosaga
*Edit oops - forgot Blizzard. *slaps self* How could I forget Blizzard!?

Nintendo takes the cake by far (as you may have guessed from my avatar of Luigi).
Square-Enix -- Both companies have had strong histories apart and are starting a good one together.
And I guess Capcom would be my third choice, for Mega Man, Marvel vs. Capcom, and Tron Bonne (I love that game!). Plus those great Disney games on the NES and SNES (Duck Tales, Magical Quest, etc.).

Yay for gravedugging.
Nintendo - what needs to be said?
Treasure - greatest and most inventive action games (go play Sin and Punishment; NOW).
HAL - SSB and Kirby. 'Nuff said.
Honorable mention:
-Retro and [the ones who did Paper Mario and Mario and Luigi, can't remember the name] (though I suppose they're more of Nintendo subsidiaries, like HAL)
-Konami - flippin' insane, and I love 'em (when they do stuff right, of course, such as Castlevania, Twinbee, Parodius, etc.)
-Capcom (again, when they do stuff right, like RE4 and DMC)
-Namco (for Soul Calibur and the Tales series)
-GrassHopper (Killer7).
-Ubisoft.
-I suppose SqaureSOFT/Square/SquareEnix can be in, too.

Squaresoft, Capcom, and Konami. The sole 3 companies completely responsible for inspiring me to one day be a desinger myself.

1. Blizzard - Starcraft and Warcraft II are the epitome of real-time strategy and Diablo II is just addictive.
2. Firaxis - Four words: Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri. Sure they didn't release the first Civilization, but they are making the latest ones (Civ 3 and 4), since it's Sid Meier's and Brian Reynolds' company.
3. Squaresoft - I'm sure you all know why.
EDIT: Oh hey, I just found myself.

er...the third would probably be either Konami or Namco, although if we were talking about development studios as well, I would stick tri-Ace in there.

And either Sega (for Sonic--the old games) or...the company who made the Kirby games. Because I grew up loving those things. xD

Hmm. I hadn't realized this was a gravedug thread before posting again. Interesting how my preferences have changed over time.

Two years go by and my answer really hasn't changed... Konami and Square-Enix, though Capcom should have been mentioned... I mean, come one... They made the best NES era games... Megaman, Bionic Commando...

I've seen people mention Konami but I don't think anyone mentioned the reason Konami is so great: Bemani, in all of its forms.
I mean, Dance Dance Revolution? Beatmania? DanceManiaX? DrumMania? Para Para Paradise? You can't get any better than those. Rhythm games are the best.

"All of Christian life is ceaseless worship of God the Father, through the mediatorship of God the Son, by the indwelling power of God the Spirit, doing what God commands in Scripture, not doing what God forbids in Scripture, in culturally contextualized ways, for the furtherance of the Gospel, when both gathered for adoration, and scattered for action, in joyous response to God's glorious grace."

"Believers do not pray with the view of informing God about things unknown to Him, or of exciting Him to do His duty, or of urging Him as though He were reluctant. On the contrary, they pray in order that they may arouse themselves to seek Him, that they may exercise their faith in meditating on His promises, that they may relieve themselves from their anxieties by pouring them into His bosom; in a word, that they may declare that from Him alone they hope and expect, both for themselves and for others, all good things."

Yes, they are, but please don't forget about Metal Gear Solid or Castlevania. Or I will have to smite some sense into you.
