I chose Crash / Spyro. When questioned Naughty Dog said recent Crash games were "like watching your daughter do porn". They're not the games they once were, the genre defining giants. They need to be laid to rest.
Did Naughty Dog actually say that?

Perhaps they should end Final Fantasy, but instead just secretly continue the games but with a different title.

Like Ending Dream, or Completed Illusion.

Halo should end it's finished the story if you can call it that and now they are just getting into spin offs which while I'm looking forward to Halo wars ODST just seems kinda lame and any more Halo games are just riding on the name because they know no matter how bad it is the fanboys will buy it.
Oh yay, let's all jump on the "I hate Halo" bandwagon. For some reason, I'm finding you hard to take seriously. Probably the anti-halo fanboyism (which is just as bad as regular halo fanboyism), lack of full stops, and ZP avatar.

...Sorry, the hating halo for no reason thing gets on my nerves. I'm not saying the series is perfect, or even all that good, but come on!

Anyway, I have to say Mario. Sure, the main games might be good, but take a look at the 3-d spin off to main game ratio, probably about 1000:3.
Actually I dont hate halo I despise it, I have hated it since they decided to say screw the story lets make a game thats entire point is the online oh and lets add this charater that is completely pointless and is an little douche that has no reason to be in the story and make you play as him for most of the game oh and the game is only like 6 hours long. I mean what the hell the first one basically invented the console shooter and after that they stopped caring about the story and decided to milk it for all the money they could so yes that is why I think Halo should drop off the face of the planet never to be seen again.

Final Fantasy. After 10 I stopped giving a crap about the series. Come to think of it, I don't care about Squareenix anymore either. Last game they published that I had fun with was The World Ends With You. I believe a part of me just died right now.

The inner fanboy believes this to be a great idea. Then again, I'm getting very sick of restoring crystals, saving princesses and/or fighting the guy that was obviously evil the moment you caught a glimpse of his ridiculous sword/hair/facial accessories twelve hours into the game.

Oh, and sorry for the double post.

Oh yeah, obviously, the game is awful, it is the most popular multiplayer game to date, it made 170 million dollars on its release day and it is one of the most successful franchises ever. Must be shit then.

*end of sarcasm*

Honestly ¬_¬ It had one of the most epic storys going for a FPS, the graphics were always top of their game, the gameplay was fun and even better with friends. Maybe the Halo Hate Bandwagon should drop off the earth first.

I thought Crash/Spyro were already dead....

A few things don't deserve to be up there. GoW for one, it's only had 2 games...
Final Fantasy can be good again once squareenix realizes that people liked the older games/why. Everything was good up to 6, then slid downhill for 7/8, 9 was a little step up,before tripping over 10 and faceplanting on 12. 13 looks disappointing, but that's just the setting/characters.
You can't kill the mario/zelda franchises, they will keep coming with fanboys holding them up. the crappy spinoffs should stop (smash bros can stay though...)

Guitarhero/rockband need to stop making new games. seriously, they have new DLCs every week, why make a new game?

Halo wasn'tmything, but I can see why people enjoy it. It felt the exact same when it moved on to 2 & 3, with a few changes... The story is done, there are 2 other games set in the same universe but different stories. I think we wont here from Halo for10 years then BAM!another one will come out of nowhere.

Halo & Gears of War. Just because they're not really that good but get way too much love.

The Nintendo ones will die when excitable little children do.

We've been ignoring Final Fantasy long enough for me to think it's ended.

Guitar Hero, while silly and embarassing, can live a bit longer but only if they can get a better song selection.

Not touching GTA as I've only played San Andreas.

Edit: My Dad says Tomb Raider

GTA is over, and I feel that it has been over since 'Vice City'! San Andreas was OK, but IV was, just as ZP says, more like normal life than the crazy sandbox fun of the original GTAs. So Rockstat should leave the franchise where it is, and call it a day on the monumental game that was GTA in the late 90s/early 00s.

For the love of God Crash Bandicoot!

Since he was 'bought' from Naughty Dog it's as if Sony have desperately been trying to turn him into a Sony branded Sonic, with predictable results.

The worst isn't even on the list:
Sims and its mass of unneeded expansions

Classic - you hate Halo because of the story...

Let me clarify that - you hate a FIRST PERSON SHOOTER because of the story...a story that is told entirely through cut-scenes and is only there to set the scene for the next fantastic encounter the game throws at you.

Give it up with the Halo hate - its a good game.

I'm sorry, I know its opinion based but who can honestly say Gears of War has had its time. Its 2 games in guys! Its a decent enough series. Saying 2 games is enough time to call it quits, should put every game and there dogs and dogs cousins on this list. I mean is anyone going to enf the Elder Scrolls series just because its on its 5th installment? No because we all want Bethesda to give our eyes more sex. Just with some new strangers in cold with burly men. Good times.
Exactly.

Why anyone would vote for Mario or Legend of Zelda? I don't know but I chose Crash Bandicoot and Spyro. These are two franchises that are following Sonic down the dark path.
