Down McCloud
It always makes me wounder.. If the games came out faster they obviously didn't take much care into making them.. Yet when we are made to wait longer time we complain even more.
But we can only hope that the game would be great considering how long they take to put it out.
Compare something like Silent Hill to Resident Evil. RE keeps tossing in more games a lot faster than Silent Hill does.
Then there's also the MGS series, games put out by Blizzard, and like mohkie said Metroid. Personally, I feel that the games that take their time in being released tend to be of higher quality.
