Star Wars, everything that made in that franchise is worse then before, so stop raping the dead Stormtrooper you got in the closet Lucas.
Kill the Sonic Team, just line them up on the street and gun them down, so people learn what happens to those abusing a good name.
Fable, well proven twice now they can't do it proper anymore, so leave it alone and do something new, or give it to someone with good ideas.
Halo, it's had a good run and now leave it on a good note.
Final Fantasy, it just doesn't seem to be getting back on the horse, so maybe it's time to retire it, or atleast go back and rethink some ideas because the guys are clearly talented but you can't have games with this aggressive JRPG style anymore.

Halo- OP said it, please let the series die with dignity.
Silent Hill- 4 was the last real Silent Hill game, 3 was the last one that was good.
Sean White- We already have Mr Hawk cluttering up the market, we do not have room for Carrot Top.
Batman: Arkham something- Mark Hamill is leaving the role of the Joker after Arkham City, I'm not saying that they can't get another game idea out of the series, but I don't know it would just feel wrong to do it without Hamill's Joker. Of course Arkham City hasn't come out yet, so maybe it'll end on a cliff hanger or something.
Duke Nukem- Forever is his triumphant return and it should be his last hurrah, otherwise everyone will have to wait another 12 years for Duke Nukem: And Ever.

Wow.. hate it with a passion. Pointless game. Took all my friends and any who didn't play WoW or said anything bad about it was booted from the "friend" group into a separate group for a while. It can burn in hell. I sorely hope Star wars: the old republic will deal a death blow to it. And by pointless - yes I tried it. Got to level 65 and thought that overall, the past two weeks of my life was pretty much wasted on that game. It didn't mean anything.
Call of Duty - Mainly because every shooter now seems to have more emphasis on MP. I know its not the only multiplayer shooter but now every shooter has some sort of level element and now all attention is on MP. I miss SP shooters. (My opinion)
Pokemon - Oh my childhood has been raped. Ever since they made the second generation pokemon I have been pissed off. I cant recognise them and I miss the original 150 DAMNIT! (Sweet memories of Pokemon Yellow)
World of Warcraft - I just dont get it. This is just me I think, but I really dont like it. Also, its painful to listen to my friends talk about WoW, mainly because thats all they talk about. And when they do, all I hear is "NNNNEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRGGHHHHHHHHH"

Minecraft (I don't care that you can spend ages building crap that can easily be destroyed by a common enemy.)
The Majority of Mecha series (half of them are just ridiculous looking contraptions that look like they would crumble if they were even slightly effected by gravity)
Star Wars (Go to hell Old Republic!)
The Sims (NOT the side stuff like Simcity and Spore though.)
Command & Conquer (Its best days are behind it If C&C4 was anything to go by.Wouldn't mind a Generals 2 though)
Portal (How many godawful memes are you going to make Valve?)

(So sorry for the length...)pulse2 said:God of War: I don't see what could possibly happen from now on
Halo: Since Bungie's departure, I don't personally see what more Halo can give from Micro
MGS: It's done, anything else would be silly, I said it was done before but the new one on PSP proved me wrong, but now, seriously, its done.
Tekken: I can't say I'm all that excited by new Tekken games nowadays, its just add 5 more characters a few more levels and modes, done! Release Tekken 7.
Sonic: Except for the portable version, the console versions make me cry.
Pokemon: How much more can they possibly make?
Gears of War: After 3, I think it should just end, it was cool while it lasted, but its starting to wear thin on me now
CoD: I'm not entirely sure where it could possibly go from there, I heard about a version set in the distant future with marines...not so sure I like that idea, Halo's already done that.
Say what you will, Pokemon is not going anywhere. And I'm perfectly fine with that. I am honestly one of those people who understands that the games design and set-up are practically perfection. The story elements are getting a bit old, and they should throw a wrench in the elite four and try something new there, but with the changes and additions I've seen for Black and White (as well as how well the game has been received in Japan so far.) It seems that they are starting to try some cool things, and with the new graphical capabilities of the 3DS on the horizon, this franchise's next installments will be VERY interesting, if only to see how they can implement the three dimensional graphics and 3D effects. The core games have never done anything like that before, and it could really bring people back just to check that out. Change some story things, and this franchise could really be looking incredibly strong next time around. The core mechanics remain extremely solid, and, unlike some franchises that need to go, it's actually coming back around to making changes to the formula instead of staying complacent.
Halo's future with me comes down to the first thing that comes from 343. If it's a disappointment it'd probably be best if Halo doesn't go the Call of Duty route. But if 343 can make a great game with amazing stories and design elements, I'm all for watching Halo keep going. I think there's plenty of things 343 could go after with Halo, but we'll see what they do.
I don't see Gears of War going far after the trilogy is over. Barring a "to be continued" from Gears 3 (won't happen, but might as well cover the bases) this will be the end of the whole human vs. locust vs. lambent deal, and thats really what Gears is all about. There are some cool stories from the early days of the war, but I just don't have a lot of confidence in Epic being able to carry this much further.
Call of Duty needs to just go away for a bit. It is very clear that some problems are just not going away, and that some things just aren't changing. They need to go back to the drawing board and figure some things out. Come back in three years or so, give it one more shot, and if they still haven't figured out how to fix this franchise, then yeah it needs to go. It's disappointing because it feels like it's going the same route (although with a few different stops) as Medal of Honor did.
Speaking of which, Medal of Honor needs to go. For good this time. The "reboot" showed that EA only cares about cashing in on the brand. I could care less what they have to say about it from now on. It's dead to me. Has been since Airborne.
Sonic is another one that needs to go, but I'm sure someones already covered that.

Top #1 pick- The Uncharted Series. I find Nathan Drake to be one of the most insufferable, annoying, inconsistent characters in all of gaming. The first game was fun, but he was still really annoying throughout the entire game. The moment that I realized I hated Nathan Drake was, *spoilers* I guess, at the beginning of the game in the museum. He bitches and moans about killing innocents when his friend brings TRANQUILIZER GUNS to help them steal valuable artifacts; okay, I get it, Nathan Drake doesn't murder innocents. But then you get to the roof and pull a man off so you don't get caught, and he falls at least 200 feet into a raging river below in the middle of the night. No cut scene, no breaking flow to mourn this guy who is quite clearly dead, you just do it in gameplay and the character never bats an eye. He's a terrible character and I want to see him go away.
Other than that, I can't think of much. I agree that Final Fantasy needs to be redeemed, not destroyed, another throwback like 9 would be nice. There needs to be no more Kane and Lynch games, and so help me god if they make another Too Human instead of Eternal Darkness, there will be rage...

Actually, think about it. Looking back for the FF franchise would mean making a gritty, post-industrial setting with darker themes than previously considered and more deeply explored characters who have full-on existential crises. Weird, huh?
Oh, and of course, IX was excellent, so I'm sure the look back would be great. IX hit all the right notes without hitting them too hard. Nostalgiac, but more like you just bought a fresh cut of FFIV/V from the market than pulling it out as taco meat later on. Shut up, the metaphor works.

I want some original IP's for a change.
