Which game series has worn out its welcome and should be chucked?

Man-oh-man am I sick of Tony Hawk games... give me a good RPG any day. Crash Bandicoot'd be my choice #2. *gags*

I gotta say Tomb Raider. I have never liked it, but with the new *bug infested* game, it's even worse...

Thanks for your input.
This was a toughie for me. I went with Tony Hawk's Pro Skater because I'm also sick of it. Is each game really an improvement from the last?? Skating is skating! I never understood sports games.
I think we should remember Lara as being the original 'game girl,' but now there are so many other games with girls as main characters. And several of them are better than Lara now (Rynn from Drakan, or Jen from Primal). I don't think we should forget Lara, but I just don't think they should make more TR games. I saw Tomb Raider: Cradle of Life this summer, and it was all right, but not that great.
I didn't choose RE, only because they are the flagship survival horror game, and in the midst of that, I want other games in that genre to have a chance to succeed. However, RE isn't necessarily the ideal survival horror game in my mind.
I don't think they should make many more Spyro or Clock Tower games either. But Tony Hawk is the one I think they should stop first.

Eh, Spyro is the only one that I really don't mind. That was one of the first PS games I ever played, so it's got some sort of sentimental value for me because of that... Spyro, and Tomba, and Croc... gods, there were some weird little games...
But now there are cooler games like Xenosaga, and Soul Caliber II... and hopefully they'll make a nice new Final Fantasy that's NOT for the PC... and I await Kingdom Hearts 2 and Xenosaga II... *goes off into crazed-gamer-fan-mode*

Some old Spyro games were okay, but I could not get all the crystals! That was annoying to me. I've heard that the latest Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly is bad.
Dino Crisis was one of the first PS games I played, so Regina will always be dear to my heart.
BTW, TR is #2 on my list of franchises to kill.
Crash Bandicoot? I always kinda liked him. I know Traveller's Tales isn't doing a great job with him, but I still like him.
I'm going to be the first one on my block to get Kingdom Hearts 2! The week that Kingdom Hearts 1 came out, I went to Wal-Mart everyday to check if it was in yet.

Final Fantasy XI is coming out for the PC and PS2(but you will need broadband and a HDD add-on) Final Fantasy X-2 is coming out later this year for PS2. Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles is coming out for GC early next year. -- Joseph, are you getting Kingdom Hearts for GBA?  |

What about Mortal Kombat? I can't stand that series, ever since they replaced real martial artists in the second game with actors in the later games.

Bomberman. How many versions of Bomerman are there, anyway? And they're all the same. Set bomb, run away. Set bomb, run away. Set bomb, trap self, oh-crap-now-I'm-dead. Reset. That game used to bring me such mindless amusement... now it's just lame.  |

Seeing as I don't have a GBA, I probably won't get KH for that platform.
