Easily one of the best balanced publishers out there, and one of the few that seems positioned to do well next gen. Not really one of my favorites, though. I'm finding that for any of their franchises, one game will pretty much do me for a whole generation.
I also find it kind of annoying that so many of their games have an air of pretension that the quality can't really justify: the pseudo-intellectual humanism of Assassin's Creed, the millennial coming-of-age stuff in Far Cry 3, the commentary on privacy in the internet age that I'm assuming will be rife throughout Watch Dogs (and unintentionally hilarious with UPLAY nagging you every time you boot up the game). All seems a bit hamfisted to me.
