Kill off Halo and replace it with the epicness that was Dungeon Keeper!
Heh. Yes, that would be nice. They brought out "Dungeon" which was basically Dungeon Keeper with only one pet. Maybe we will see the full one come back out to play.

And a GOOD remake of Master of Monsters. One of the BEST multi-player strategy games ever.

(Oh yeah, Luigi's Mansion was pretty good. But Nintendo decided to kill off the more attractive brother since he could easily steal the spotlight from Mario. So cruel.)

To be honest there isn't alot that should be aloud to stay, we have had alot of great games but we need more fresh stuff, new ideas and such. Halo was awsome, should go now though before it becomes one of those series's that just become shit and we don't want that to be halo. We want it to be a good memory.

Sonic definatly needs to go, not much more needs to be said.

Mario and Zelda I think they could eek out a few more games before they start going shit, provided they stay well away from the fucking DS.

MGS needs to die, although the E3 trailer for the new one wasn't very clear so I don't know what to expect from that game. Mabye it'll be another Halo3 and we'll all love it... I doubt it though.

L4D needs to stop at 2 AND NEVER CONTINUE!!!

They need to hurry the fuck up with Half life 2 ep 3 so we can end the damn story already. On that note another Portal game with new challenges and mabye that multiplayer that they never released would be a nice idea.

hmmm, I think halo has had its time, the first 2 were good, and the 3rd was ok, but wars? hmm, I think the francise is slowly getting worse.

Revived? the old oddworld games, back when they were side scrolling, blood curdling, mince meating, gun shooting, dog charming, grunt commanding, puzzle, fun.

Edit: I forgot mudoken chopping
That pretty much sums up my thoughts on Abe.

An age of empires 4 anyone? that could work

NO MORE FUCKING LEGO GAMES!!!

I'm not sure how Jak and Daxter 4 is going to work out because with 3 I think they reached their peek idea wise and the 4th installment will probably be pretty dull and empty. But younever know, you do get planes.

The DS needs to be locked away and only brought out again when I am dead because I hate that thing so much and I never got hand held consols... especially the DS.

Hopefully Devil May Cry is done because another one would be shit, I think they should have stopped after the first one to be honest because the second made NO sence at all.

I don't think they should bring out BioShock 2 as it seems to be one of these games that your just not supposed to sequel.

I think Yahtzee should bring out a game that has something to do with fighting the IMPS

Tomb Raider should have died after chronicles!!!!

But really in the end, there are far to many companies sequeling everything they can to make more money. Like Yahtzee said "Imagine a world were bringing out sequels had the death penalty" Or something like that.

It would be nice if some series would end so that their developers could start working on new and original ideas, but no franchise needs to 'die'. There's no point in it. If the developer wants to make the game and there's enough demand for it, then they should go ahead and make the game. Just because a few of us don't like a franchise doesn't mean that it needs to end.

To the haters out there: like it or not, Mario, Sonic, Zelda, Halo, etc sell. In fact, they sell very well. Just because you don't like the games doesn't mean everyone else doesn't like them either. Here's a hard pill to swallow, developers make games for money. I know it's hard for you to wrap your mind around it, but some of these games that you despise actually make a ton of money for the developers. They aren't going to let something like that go, it's just common sense.

It just amazes me that people on internet forums think they know better than the developers and the millions of people buying games in these successful franchises.
This. My thoughts exactly put much more articulately than I could ever put them.

That said... would the countless WWII games count as something that should be discontinued? I think the money could be much better spent, and being set on Mars could only be an improvement.

I say that Final Fantasy should die right after an FFVII remake. I want to see Aerith die in HD.

Die: Final Fantasy has run its course. Kill it now. And this is coming from a FF fan.

Revive: Chrono series. Please. Before I die, I want to see a new Chrono game. It probably won't happen, but considering the series has spawned THE BEST GAME EVARR (well, my personal favorite) and an awesome sequel worthy of the Chrono name, they couldn't go wrong with another one. Just reunite the original "dream team", revive the Chrono Break project, and give series fanboys like me a reason to live another day. (Ok... I sounded a little emo right there)

World war 2 game franchise needs to be stopped. The games have been going longer than the war itself.
(why don't they like WW1 though? there was more killing in that war)
First of all, that's wrong because most of WWI was spent in trenches, whereas WWII held the Blitz, Blitzkrieg and a Europe-wide takeover by Germany.

I think many of Nintendo's franchises are started to become...samey. They will never cut Mario because he still sells millions, and Sonic the Hedgehog will not go because of the same reason. However, especially in Sonic's case, they need to make better games with them!!

Nintendo as a gaming company are going to start falling further because they cannot survive without a Mario/Zelda/Metroid title. New characters need to be invented, the same way PS3 and Xbox have done. The other consoles risk the same fate, but are handling it better than Nintendo.

Some of the more tedius titles are 'Final Fantasy' (although they are good), 'Resident Evil', 'Metal Gear Solid', 'Halo'. While these are great games, that's how they should be remembered. Not trashed by sequel after sequel as their ratings slowly drop. A good game developer will leave their game at the top, not reach the top and then run it down.

Halo should be retired. The problem is that Bungie isn't willing to create any OTHER series. All they do is ride the coattails of Halo. Granted, it is a cash cow, but eventually, people will become bored with the series, and then Bungie will have nothing. When I heard they were working on a new title, I knew what to expect. Sure enough: Halo Reach. Bungie, try something original.

The story in Halo ODST looks pretty original.

Dynasty Warriors. I remember how much fun I had the when the first game come out...20 something sequels later I'm wondering how the hell these things keep churning out. It's kind of sad really because the series *was* great and one of my favorite games back in the day. They need to just kill off the series already.
