all that have more than 2 sequels. Anything more than that should be banned. It destroys originality.

Call of Duty, why won't they just quit while they're ahead?

Fallout, Bethesda royally screwed it up, but I'm waiting for New Vegas to see if the series has really been killed or not.

Grand Theft Auto, if Rockstar insists on going on this "Gritty and Realistic" theme for it than the series should simply end. If they're willing to go back to a pleasant mixture of drama and comedy, than they can still go places.

Fable, Molyneux, Fable II was about as good as you're going to get with this series, and that's still not too good, so just give it up and make another Black and White already.

The Sims, it's had its run, now do something new.

Madden, seriously, the series has had little to no change, just stop already.

Halo, trying to bring your fanbase of twitchy, hyperactive FPSers into real-time strategy was a TERRIBLE idea and a good sign that the series should stop.

I can feel Gears of War straying into this territory at times, I'm pretty sure it's a trilogy, but I feel that they've got about two more games in them before the series gets tired.

Mario, Legend of Zelda, Sonic, etc.

Im cool with one or maybe two sequels, but when games start getting miked, it really ticks me off. My opinion is that guitar hero had a nice run but now its getting crazy.
Eh, of all games, I feel that plotless music games can get away with incessant sequels. Unlike conventional games whose sequels that can rape a person's affectionate nostalgia, another guitar hero is just another guitar hero in my book.

Guitar Hero, Rockband, Final Fantasy, Mario, Kirby, and Sonic the Hedgehog.
All have had their moment in the spotlight, but now they should graciously leave.

Final Fantasy, 14 games is too much (Unless it are 14 awesome games like Overlord or the original Fable).

Agreed. Guitar Hero for the DS and your PHONE? That's ridiculous.

I would say Halo, but ODST and Reach sound somewhat refreshing.

I'm saying Metal Gear Solid. 4 should never have been made. Yes, I went there.

MGS 1,2 and 3 were all brilliant, although The Twin Snakes was a bit strange. I just found MGS 4 to be an abject failure in my view.

Wait. One of your "series that needs to end" is a TRILOGY? A complete trilogy, self contained. A trilogy that is OVER. Finished. No longing have sequels. Has stopped being made.

They need to STOP making games for this? Tell me if I'm missing something here.

A quick run through of wikipedia gives the total sales of the main series (not counting remakes, spin-offs and the like) as very roughly: 50 Million.
Thats very nearly one copy for every current British citizen. That's a heck of a lot. Something this mindblowingly successful has no reason to end. And they consistently get high scoring reviews, so you can't really argue that the games are low quality.

Final Fantasy? (not the 7's thought the seven series was epic, I actually want a remake of 7 for mah xbox) Oh and Halo, Guitar Hero, Rock Band, Call of Duty, (they should have stopped with modern warfare instead of making more Nazis to kill) POKEMON! and Mario.

Zelda and Metroid games are getting better but Mario is as boring as ever.

Guitar Hero and Resident Evil. Those two series I just head-desk everytime I hear about another one.

The search bar is a niffty little tool that comes in handy in situations like this.

But, I would have to say Mario. It's over for him. He's been to space, nowhere else to go.
Nah we still need a non-edutainment title where he time travels. Also I haven't seen "Mario Hockey" yet.


But I'd say Rock Band/Guitar hero (they might as well just release new songs for download instead of constant sequals that are pretty much the same bar a few changes here and there).
Available only in Canada!

They're making another Metroid game. I know it isn't the same series, but still.

That's another Metroid game. Not Metroid Prime. Say what you mean.

That, and Metroid:Other M (and the Metroid games in general) are at least trying new things, reinventing themselves to not stay stale. So my point still stands: You want THIS series to end? One that's actually occasionally innovating?

Rockband/Guitar Hero. They could have just made one game for the current generation, and then released everything else as DLC.

Final Fantasy.

I hate J-RPGs. With a passion. Except Pokemon. =D

That series is the same thing, regurgitated every time...
You do realize, that by your logic, every sequel ever is the same thing, regurgitated every time? Final Fantasy has a different story with different characters each time, adding new and cool variations to the attacks that the previous games had.
Do you have enough room for all that DLC? Just think of every game as a super DLC pack. Not liek you have to buy the instruments every time.

Halo. A Halo game without Masterchief is like a sandwich without any meat or cheese. It's just two pieces of bread.
