Z-Fatalis

best bit is, for fans like me fifa still manages to find new ways of improving or introducing new features or leages every year.12 to 13 is a big leap in areas like career and 1 touch passing is finally more realistic.All those little things really make it worth buying for fans like me anyway.

Mario

Pokemon

Metal Gears Solid

Sonic

Halo

GT

Need 4 Speed

Fifa

we are still gaming yet I see no Crash Bandicoot therefore it's not milked

Mario, Gran turismo, halo, flopza, sonic

Not sure if serious? :? GT and Forza have eah had only 5 instalments, far less than all the other IPs being listed. And with GT, even mentioning the prologues, I don't think those count as full game releases.

Warcraft

Final Fantasy

Mario

Call of Duty

Halo

etc etc.

Nothing touches Mario.

LOTR is actually oficially more milked that star wars now, believe it or not.

However, I don't f*cking care. LOTR>>>>>>>>>>>> Star Wars.

Mario gets the gold star :)

:lol:

i ain't gonna lie Mr. Mayor, That made me laugh:P

All games that sell are milked, what were you expecting?

As long as they keep selling they'll keep being made, dont like it dont buy it, no one commands you to

simple

I've no problem with milked games as long as devs keep rolling new IPs at the same time. Sony milk their franchises, no doubt about it, but at least they keep putting new IPs on the market. I dont agree with the Nintendo or MS startegy that only keeps relying on the same franchises over and over. Thats a no no for me, even if those games are good

I never understood why being milked is a bad thing when you enjoy the games. Please Nintendo don't make another great Mario game. I beg you, I just don't like playing good games. HarlockJC

Mario and God of War.

Who are the worst offenders?

Which names are exploited over and over again to boost sales?

KiZZo1

Are you drunk or have you just not played a video game in the last 5 years???

Call of Duty, anyone?

How about Ratchet & Clank? 11 games in 10 years.

Halo

Guitar Hero

Tony Hawk (up until Ride, which hopefully put the nail in the coffin for that one)

Assassin's Creed

Any more I left out?

3 = zelda 2 = Mario 1 and worst of all = FIFAhippiesanta

I'd consider Madden more milked than Fifa, at least Fifa's improved drastically over the last few years.

Zelda's had 8 core games in the last 25 years, I'd hardly call that "milked".

Mario's had slightly more core games (10 in the last 27 years), but still, not that bad compared to the 10-11 Ratchet & Clank game released in the last 10 years.

Mario
Pokemon
Call of Duty
Assassin's Creed
Ratchet and Clank

Call of Duty herp derp

But seriously, Mario, Final Fantasy, LoZ, Madden, FIFA.

Mario
Call of Duty
Halo
Assassin's Creed
Final Fantasy
Pretty much every sports game

I'm gonna say Pokemon, but one that's gets a free pass is Mario. Just because it encompasses several different game experiences doesn't mean it's alright. Often they use the brand power of Mario so they can sell a new game. I'd like to see more new IP's from them
