That was the first thing that came to my mind. BioWare's been riding this high on Mass Effect and Dragon Age recently that gives them the aura of being the developer with the Midas touch, but Sonic Chronicles was a bad game by any standard. The only thing good in it was the core battle mechanics (that made good use of the touchscreen and formed a surprisingly cunning strategy), and everything else was butchery. Horrendous cutscenes that looked like they were made by someone who didn't really understand Flash all that well, an atrocious story even by Sonic standards which completely jumped the shark midway through when they sent everyone out to outer space adventure with random aliens, and just an overall incredibly bland and generic game-world.
BioWare was able to dodge that flop somehow, not taking a lot of heat for it. But it definitely proves that there are dregs in that group.

In fairness, the majority of developers don't take absurd amounts of heat for releasing one bad game every once in a while.

True, but i feel that none of the blame for that game was laid at BioWare's feet, and none of the disappointment attributed to them. That's more what i meant. They put that out, but nobody ever really thinks of it as "the one crappy BioWare game," just as "another crappy Sonic game."
Maybe because most people ignored the game's existence and it wasn't hyped very much, idk.
