No more WW2 please. Or even WW1 or any other war.
And sports games are stupid because they release almost exactly the same thing every year.
I also think the whole Guitar Hero thing has been done to death now. They can keep releasing DLC for existing games but please no more.

WWII games. They havent just flogged the horse, I think they've impregnated it and cut into little tiny pieces. Im torn between having them continue making these colorful turds or having America actually do something involving their military that is worth the slightest merit. At least if its the latter then they'll be going on for a century about something new.

Notice how the majority of WWII games have you play as the Americans? It'd be fun if they let you play as Germany, it be a nice change from the patriotical piss that you normally get.

fucking sonic. he's been overused for years. as has mario really...
and the halo series imediately became overused when halo wars came out. they ran out of uses for the halo universe in a fps, so they just thought 'fuck it, strategy game! some halo fans will spend money on that cos let's face it, they'll buy anything!' :)
You thought it was over... BUT YOU WERE WRONG!!!! There is actually an new halo fps in development where you play as a marine, not a spartan.

see in theory that could be good. at least you might not be practically fucking invincible...
or on the other hand it might just be lengthening the life of an already stale series.

World War II. In general, not just games. I'd love to see a good WWII game, but so many of them are just "You are Pvt. Max Patriott, a GI that gets sent in with the first waves on the beaches of Normandy. Fight through several standard battles with destructible terrain (in places) while single-handedly taking down the Third Reich. Waves of Nazis to slaughter included."

In fact, all the good ones have been RTS's - there's a lesson there, kids.

I don't feel crappy movie games should be here, as even though they are made, NOBODY BUYS THEM.
Also - Sports games? Seriously? I mean, I am small and non-muscular myself, but if you want to play sports, GO OUTSIDE.

I know, I know, WWII has been done to death. But that was a war. That was 6 years of nothing but war. And you think Star Wars is any better? That is, at most, 20 hours. 6 times 365 is 2190 days, which figures out to 52560 hours. That is 2628 more times. So, at this rate, there should be 2,628 more WWII games than Star Wars games.

Although, I am completely biased and unreliable. I sort of hate Star Wars. A tiny bit.

um... yeah... I'm gonna go before I get flamed back to the Geneva Convention.

WW2 isn't just overused in games, films are as bad. I suppose its nice and tangible. The weapons are fairly straightforward in that planes can't shoot from 120km away as they can now and of course its nice and clear cut good v evil.

I agree with you films to game are just horrible these days. Is there one game move that any good?

Although i am a massive ww2 game fan, i have to admit aprt from cod series all the other war games arnt very good, and yes they have been done to death.

But also crappy movies that are made into games, although l have read and heard good things about the up and comming ghostbuster game

Maybe if there was a WW2 game that wasn't completely about America saving the world the series would be slightly interesting. Perhaps one where you are in Auschwitz or some other concentration camp and you have to break out or something to that effect.

But I'm more sick of open world crime games to be honest.

Crappy movie games followed by WW2 games.
Crappy movie games are really irritating to me,
I mean they are sooooo bad.
And spider man games don't deserve to live.

I'd say Megaman is a pretty overused series. not counting the whole Pokemon idea of releasing the same game twice and remakes there are over 50 games in the Franchise. But i suppose i can forgive Capcom if only because I've enjoyed all the ones of played which is at least one every series except the star force one
