Game companies you avoid
Any Games you dont buy or write off based on which company made them. The two I can think of are THQ and Codemasters. THQ I never really liked even back to the NES days every game they made I thought were really boring or graphics were bad. Code masters I liked with micro mahines(NES) but I then bought that "Turning point:Fall of liberty" game which I thought was going to be cool but was let down. Anyone else?
I don't really avoid companies on purpose, but I haven't liked any Ubisoft game in forever.
Depends on the console.
THQ for older, classic consoles.
Umm...that's it, actually.

Actually, THQ has come a pretty long way since the old SNES/Gen days. Remember Pit-Fighter on the SNES? Just typing that last sentence forced my hands into some sort of hideous claw-shape...
I don't buy any games for the new systems so I'm not sure what's crap or not, but as far as older stuff, I'll avoid THQ definitely...as well as some Acclaim stuff from the 8/16/32-bit era (Star Voyager, Dragonheart, Fantastic Four to name but a few). Bandai was also godawful back in the 8-bit days.

These days I avoid most EA, THQ, Sega and Activision games. In general I avoid most multiplatform games by these mega publishers because I find them to be lesser quality games and you end up with one great version for one platform, while the rest are buggy pieces of shit. This is why I mostly buy console exclusives. As far as past console generations, I avoid anything from the PS2/Xbox/Gamecube era made by Akklaim, Midway, Atari, and Infogrames. Akklaim and Midway had some kick ass games back in the NES and SNES days though.

Unless I'm really interested in it. Nintendo. To me atleast, most of their games are a disappointment, but they do make some amazing ones here and there.
Everything in the above post is opinion unless stated otherwise.
For a second, I thought you were going to say "Sony" after the PS3 March 1st incident.

Seconded. Well, if it's post 5th generation releases.

THQ in general as for EA what they put out hasn't interested me to much.
Mythicon for Atari 2600 games. Holy crap, that crap is AWFUL. Yet I own their games...

EA for the most part. Ubisoft came second.

yeah i used to not buy THQ games either, but these days it seems they have improved greatly. I don't really avoid anyone too much, though Square-Enix (usually when they are publishing a Tri-Ace game) i'm not paying full price for any of their games.

LJN. Absolute shit.
I have agree with people here I avoid EA games like the plague. Sega has been shitty for a while now they need to learn the fact they suck at 3d stuff and go back to their 2d roots. I also avoid any movie tie in games for the most part they are horrible.
The only game I like from them is WWF Royal Rumble.

You beat me to it, I was going to say LJN. I'm not sure if I have any of their games, maybe one or two were decent but I can't think of any of the titles.
I thought about THQ, but they released several games for the Gameboy Advance that I have so they're not that bad. The Sonic Advance games were by THQ, same with the Phantasy Star Collection. I haven't come across a copy of the Phantasy Star Collection yet so I can't comment on what it's like through personal experience. Micro Machines 1 and 2 for Gameboy Color came out from them, but I found that to be a terrible version of Micro Machines. I can't remember what else came out by them, but I'm pretty sure I have more by them.
I'll also second Codemasters, I really like Micro Machines but that's it. I thought the Quattro cartridges and Dizzy games sucked.
