I thought about this as soon as I saw the title but Star Wars still delivers a lot of good stuff in terms of books and comics so it isn't as far gone as Sonic is.EternalNothingness said:

Now, Halo may take the cake, sure. But to compare it to Star Wars I think FF would be a tad more accurate. Because it's sorta true. Final Fantasy used to be looked at as a pinnacle. Now the series has become sort of sad. And honestly it and Star Wars have much in common in that regard.

Came out around the same time, and who - even non-geeks - doesn't know this?
It even has the much loathed cartoon version, the overpriced 3D version, and the few versions that everyone else hates.

my vote goes towards sonic (yep not sci-fi)
I loved the games as a kid, everyone I knew loved the games as a kid. Too bad the new games ruined it for everyone. Now it seems like the people behind sonic are just milking the franchise for money since it has so many fanboys.
sounds like star wars to me!

If we're talking about groundbreaking sci-fi that pushes the limits of technology and narrative delivery in a medium, then arguably Mass Effect. (let's take a moment to remember that this is what Star Wars did when it first became popular)
If we're talking about a cultural touchstone which just about everyone has played, regardless of whether or not they're gamers, I'd say Zelda or Mario. Here's hoping they don't license themselves into oblivion.

...I wouldn't say Sonic's problem was being kiddified. Its problem is that the creators take the world too seriously, and put the characters in situations where they really don't belong.illas said:
See Shadow the Hedgehog and the following Sonic the Hedgehog game.
I was actually going to say 'Final Fantasy' myself so yeah... you have spoken for me.kman123 said:
It's the exact same thing as Star Wars. It goes from the right amount of flash and pizzazz with solid stories and characters to over-the-top visual eye candy, terrible writing, and one-dimensional characters.
I'm going to have to go with Halo. Star Wars when it first came out was such a revolution in films that it literally changed how the game was played, Halo did that for video games, there is a reason games after Halo where labeled Halo-killer.
I get a cookie! Don't really want the Coke though, I'm not really much of a soda guy. Gunstar Heroes is my favorite Genesis game! I have Gunstar Super Heroes as well, I bought it brand new when it came out. I hope Treasure makes another one.martintox said:
As for the topic at hand, I'd argue Zelda and Halo, they both had one of there big games remade this year! Same year as Star Wars on Blu-Ray! Weren't they both re-released in 3D this year as well (I think Halo Anniversary has a stereoscopic 3D mode...)? And the later has a ton of books and some comics, just like Star Wars!
You mentioned consoles and then World of Warcraft? *blinks* Indie? Nope. Casual? Nope...hrrmmmpoiumty said:
