Thumbs down Gaming Franchises That Need to DIE!
Gaming Franchises that should die! Or at least go away for a long long time!

1. Mario (I haven't liked a Mario game since Super Mario World)
2. Sonic (Hasn't been good since Sonic Adventure on Dreamcast)
3. Mega Man (No explanation needed)
4. Final Fantasy (There's nothing FINAL about it!)
5. Madden (Not NFL games just John Madden)

Well, I dunno about Mario or FF...the rest I dont really play anyhow lol

Em...one franchise that really needs to kick the bucket is the Evil Dead games. I dont think I've ever played one I liked.

Just because they used to be good and fresh doesn't mean they still are.

They don't make any more Mega Mans and I think the FF's are always good.
The others agreed.

DYNASTY WARRIORS

This title has a knack for being **** bombs and it should be killed off altogether.

Final Fantasy

Pro Evo (FIFA is far better, PES should just give up)
Gran Turismo (It's had it's day. It cannot compare to PC sims)

I'm not a fan of Final Fantasy style games, but if your franchise gets to the point where there is a Roman numeral "X" in the title, its been done to death.

I still like Final Fantasy. Not sure how much more they can milk it though.

I agree Tony Hawk games should die.
Final Fantasy should at the very least change the name of it's games to "Not Quite So Final Fantasy" or Final Fantasy "08" like sports games do.
