I'd say halo 2 ruined the story but not killed the halo franchise.

And Sierra who ruined crash and spyro by making games like Crash boom bang and spyro heroes tail these games ruined crash and spyro.

and ratchet and clank 3

 well that's me finshed there's probaly more but i can't remember the rest right now:|

The game is coming out in november 2007 and i can't wait to melee a elite of a cliff in high def :D
