Games We'll Never Play Again

Stick a fork in these video game series. They're done.

Thank you sir. We've had enough.

It's no secret -- game publishers love sequels, especially ones attached to hit franchises. They'll release three, four and, in some cases, nine or more games in a series. While it's cool if they dream up imaginative new features, most of time they deliver the same old experiences. These nine game series, once our all-time faves, have run their courses and we refuse to go back, not even for all of the vegetables in Harvest Moon.

Hey, i dont think 'Worms Armageddon' is such a bad game, it has its own kinda fun, im a guy who plays almost all types of games action,strategy,RPG,racing etc...& i think worms are enjoyable, you just have to broaden ur mind a little...just allow ur mind to accept things which are a li'le different ;)

RE: Future Offenders, The only thing I have to say, to Mr. Chris Buffa, who I seem to respect, professionally...is the Guitar Hero series is "stuck" If they...didnt continue with new/exciting songs...say after Guitar Hero II, ...and "vaporized" ( made every one wait, and wait), 1.5 years for a sequel (aka) more songs...then it would ....on your list of Too little too late/who cares However, if they attempt to FLOOD the market, with a target to classic, new and..well, LOUD rock ; then it is saturation! so, sit idle, and have fans..become irrate with a short play list; or lay a foundation of the basic game play, and overload the song set comparable to a JACK-FM playlist ??

I will never toss any of my Acecombat games to the trash can..I love them so much, I can careless about what these idiots think about these games..it comes down to the gamer. Not some dumb critic.

castlevania is still my second favorite series (my first is the legend of zelda) and i think if they can put in some new unique features like the combo moves in portrait of ruin it would be a lot better

ahh dynasty warriors... they made a gundam dynasy warrior 0.o i guess all those games got the company down that they had to beg sunrise to make the game with them xD

you guys really suck at this lol. the reason you can even talk about these games is because they are classics and we will never stop playing them

Dude Screw them they are just making another piece of **** review because they have nothing else to do and dont want to lose their jobs. I think that DMC is the like best games series out there and guitar hero is great, yeah they come out with them too fast, but deal with it we fat ass americans love it!

seriously?... I loved Mario Party I still do. And i love the Sonic version of the game too xD... I STILL love dynasty warriors... I don't care what ya say that is one of the best games to kill boredom.. Sequels were always only ever made for the hard core fans of that said game..and guitar hero? are you serious.. I like playing new songs thanks.. ppl that didn't mark that game as their favorite prolly will get tired of it eventually.. why is it all your topics are very opinionated ones? kinda funny tho... no Halo
