I don't even know. Some games have large intervals and development time between them.. But then when you get them eventually the quality does not justify the time spent. Duke Nukem springs to mind as a perfect example.
Release time/milking is a pretty shoddy way to write off games and pass judgement just because the game is mainstream or whatever, yes I am talking about COD. MW3 was a let down, but BO, MW2, WaW and COD4 is a good enough streak in 4 years.
Assassin's creed is another story, I think that the quality of the story has dropped, and the graphics have become quite aged in comparison to when they were first introduced.. Bottom line is, give the game a fucking chance before passing judgement.
Disconnect and self destruct, one bullet a time.
