What gaming franchise do you think should die?

I could say the same thing about Spyro.

Agreed.

Spyro wasn't even worth mentioning.

Early Spyro was fun though. I recently played through "Year of the Dragon" and enjoyed it.

i used to LOVE spyro for ps1. i dunno how it is lately, but i played one for the ps2 and it was rather boring...

current dk games, i just want to kill some kremlings, not hit a bongo drum all day, dk's in a racing game(mario kart), and diddy kong has his own racing game, bongo blast shouldn't have been made....unless they're moving on to rare-style games, i think they should just keep dk in mario spin-offs and ssb

Nooooooooo Bongos are so fun! So addictive!!

Crash is doing better than Spyro these days, but both are really dried out. Spyro I never wanted it to end this way! Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! You were Sony's Zelda as Crash was Sony's Mario.

There was actually a recent GBA build of Spyro that must have come out around August or September that got 8's and 9's from a lot of reviewers.

So... it's got that goin' for it.

[Fox]

Really? I must have missed it. Do you have the title, nic7?

[nic7]

Here's a link to some reviews and what not.

I guess it wasn't as successful as I had thought. I was basing my knowledge off gonintendo and 4colorrebellion reviews which gave it 9's. There is still one 9 in there, but I thought it had recieved more

Doesnt look bad but it's a side scroller.
IMO sidescrollers and Spyro dont mix...

Thanks for the link, nic7


Speaking of sidescrollers, Oddworld is next on my list.
Oddworld: was a charming, sidescrolling puzzler with violence and difficilty. Most of this changed with Oddworld: Munch's Oddesy. (Priors were Oddworld: Abes Oddesy and Oddworld: Abes Exodus). Well, IMO Munch's game was quite lackluster, since it meant longtime favorite alian Abe was no longer the star.
The Strangers Wrath was a very successfull title but I see Oddworld going nowhere after it, no folowup. It's like saying "yeah it was cool but who cares"

Oddworld, please retire.

LOL...Sony having their own Spyro (Zelda) Crash (Mario) franchises is soo funny....Only different thing is, THEIR NOT First Party...their 2nd Party...LAME

I think Packman should give up too...its been getting bad reviews also

[Fox]

Did you see the G4 X-Play special? Pacman was the 2007 downloadable content winner.

Pac-Man in a nutshell, IMO, is more of an icon than Mario. That's like saying Apple Pie isnt american.
