All I can say is, look what happened with Tomb raider. The first two, and arguably the third also, were good. then you had two or three shit ones. Now we have three new generation Tomb Raiders (Legend, Anniversary and Underworld) which all are, or look like they could be winners (Underworld could still suck, though the demo is good). Don't write off a series, because sometimes there is still fun to be had in an established universe. My fingers are crossed for Recon to be the breath of fresh air that was Legend, rather than the stagnant experience that wasd The Last Revelation.
