Well, Crash Bandicoot looks like it's going down the shitter sorry to say. I'm a huge fan of Crash Bandicoot and his games are really becoming more repetitive. Some great ideas here and there but they should really just let him go.

In league with Crash is Spyro the Dragon, ever since the original developers left to do Ratchet & Clank the games just look horrid.

Spyro was a fun PS1 Character. But now he needs to die, if I see him on 360 then I know it's overkill.

In the end, all game series will end; either they will be run out and become utter rehashes of the old maps, characters, and plotlines, or their creators will die and no other man will be capable of carrying on the series, or they will simply fade into nothing. Nothing lasts forever: not Mario, not Halo, not Doom, not Zelda, not Call of Duty. Nothing. In the end, all will fail.

Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory online. I remember when there were about 40 people on Coop or Versus. I just checked the world servers about 10 minutes ago, one server. And 1 person is on Coop.

Well, Sonic is now the classic crash-and-burn franchise, due to, in typical Sonic fashion, the incredible speed at which it went from awesome to terrible.

Star Fox, Tomb Raider, and the PS1-era platformers are starting to show their age, though...

Yeah, but then again Spawn/Link worked out alright in Soul Caliber.

I like to think they worked because they had similar technology and weapons. How the hell is force push and lightsabers going to fit in with swords and spears?

Mario and Halo won't fail as long as they don't fail. There is a difference between failing and retiring something. When a company moves onto new projects, that means they don't see anything more they can do with that character.

Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon both failed horribly as soon as their original developers sold the rights to the series.

Majority of the Sonic the Hedgehog games have been terrible ever since the Dreamcast failed. Sonic Rush was excelent though, it proved that the series isn't dead yet. Sonic Unleashed also looks promising.

Mario Party has been awful ever since they moved it from the N64 to the Gamecube. Mario Party 8 could have been amazing, but they fucked it up horribly.
