I personally think Tony Hawk games have been going nowhere for the last 3 or 4 years... and this is coming from someone who has the first 8 Tony Hawk games. (THPG doesn't interest me)

On top of that, Skate makes that whole series feel stale in comparison. What franchise or franchises do you think should die?

How about sports games? I mean, why not just work on one version really hard, then release updates every now and then to keep it fresh...or maybe 2 per gen, instead of milking the holy hell out of people.

Any true gamer would have to admit it's only the trash Multiplatform games that need to die. Tony Hawk is a perfect example, especially after skate.

Anyone who says Final fantasy obviously haven't played the games and need to STFU. They have nothing to do with each other(other than X & X2).

Well Madden this year clearly was not a rehash with it's 'weapons' feature. An 8.5 proves it.

tony hawk as well, soul cailbur, halo, call of duty, POKEMON

many others

EDIT: sports games, GTA, etc.

anyone who thinks final fantasy is the same each time has obviously never played more than one final fantasy.

All Sports games, Dynasty Warriors, Mario Parties... not much else I can think of. Maybe Tony Hawk games.
I would say generic shooters, but that isn't a franchise.

I can't believe I forgot Sonic. Just roll over and die already.

To the people saying Mario... do you mean spin offs only or the whole shebang?

I'm with Leviathan here. I love mario just as much as the next guy, but please Ninty. At least slow down, and work on some new IP.

I'd like to see an official end to the Sonic/Mega Man games. Both would have to be exceptional titles though. Anything short of that, and it'd just be pathetic.

And ofcourse TH games.

Sonic lost his way after the Genesis. Sonic Adventure games should be put to rest or reworked. Sonic Rush games for DS I am compleatly for because they are almost on par with the original Genisis games except for Sonic 2. That game is as immortal as Mario 3. Tony Hawk was great the first 4 times but it's tired now.

So they're like tons of amazing games in their genreunder the same title. They could be called 15+ different names, but that would be for nothing.

Exactly. Even though I wish, but if Halo Wars got a 9.0 or higher (mainly 9.5, no way in hell it gets a 10), some haters will just be stunned.

Yea, they're only on their fourth game, and technically third real one(most don't count 3) and they completly redefined the game for the latest installment. I dont see any milkage at all.

Because i'm not an idiot like most of the population of system wars, and If you don't like a genre, your definatly not going to like the game. It's just preferance, like me saying MGS are some of the worst games I've played.

I think that Tony Hawk's games has to die. I loved them up until THPS3 or 4 and then they were crap after that. I also think that Zelda has to go. I never liked it and I don't see why other people like it. But whatever, that's just my opinion.

no one agrees they'd like to see an end to the Mega Man series? a "final episode" if you will? I'd like to see it done R&C style, third person platform with awesome pixar-like graphics. But then again.. it would be hard to call it mega man without the 2D... *sigh*

Non platformings Donkey Kong games.

Non Spaceship flying Star Fox games.

Pokemon. Honestly it such a simple game and the core gameplay has BARELY changed since Blue/Red its rediculous.
