To suck every last bit of nourishment out of a series until all that remains is a sad, pathetic husk of a once-great series.

But according to SW, it's just a series with more than 3 games (i.e. Halo), regardless of quality.

So only franchise that has been truly milked to oblivion is Tony Hawk. And maybe Guitar Hero. Funny, they are both Acti.

Has Activision ever NOT milked a franchise?

The ones that they saw it was not worth making it into a franchise, I guess. Not sure if they will milk the s*** out of Prototype.

I hope they don't. I loved that game. Be a shame if it ends up like Tony Hawk.

It sure will be, though I haven't tried Prototype myself. Biggest reason I hate Acti is not because of Call of Duty, it has always been like that, in fact it improved in what it is trying to do, but because of Tony Hawk. I spent countless hours with THPS2.

Oh, CoD doesn't really deserve the hate it gets. Sure, it's alittle imbalanced and repetitive, but at its core, it's a solid franchise with a kickass story and some great gameplay.

I get where you're coming from on Tony Hawk. I didn't play the second one much, but I practically wasted my childhood on the first game when I could get my hands on it. It was a solid franchise up until Underground 2 I'd say, then it lost it's luster, it got gimmickey, the controls got worse, the scoring system changed slightly, it just changed too much for the worse.

Nintendo. Who else would get away with releasing two of the same game at one time (Pokemon)?

Vari3ty
You obviously don't understand why they release 2 versions of Pokemon with each gen

[QUOTE="lawlessx"]ubisoft (seriously another ******ing assassin's creed)sts106mat
its not milking when the games are getting better with each instalment, which IMO they are in the case of AC.

especially when there ha only been about 4 assassins creed games, call of duty has had 7 games this gen so far.

Fable isn't looking good, considering the afwul DLC on fable 3, the kinect cash ins and stuff like fable heroes.
