Most recycled video game franchise/series that needs to die.

Most recycled video game franchise/series that needs to die.
Wasn't it Forbes last month that actually wrote a half way insightful article about what I've been bitching about since the start of the recent gaming generation?
The lack of creative, ambition, or risk companies are willing to take in the industry is pathetic. And depressing. Either a company ports too much (Nintendo, die), slaps a brand name on anything and it sells(EA, Square, die), or figures that buying up 3rd parties to develop games using ten year old genres just with "purdy-er graphics, and more blood"(Microsoft.. and Namco for buying the rights to SRS.. argh..).
Sure, the industry is certainly producing a more impressive media to the average person, but the soul of it all as seeminly run dry. Or maybe I'm just being cynical.
At any rate, I figured I'd poll on "the most recycled video game franchise that needs to die." Some franchises seem to go on forever, and are still decent all in all. Some should have never been created in the first place, so why do companies still produce them? Argh.
Die.

<Eurakarte> madden, tony hawk, and tom clancy games should all die too
<Stak> I'm going to say madden
<Eurakarte> but final fantasy is the preeminent among them
<Stak> The only real difference is that the number at the end of the game's name is increased by 1

I despise Zelda but I voted Star Wars because I like that even less
Also, why aren't the Whatever vs. Capcom games here? Everyone knows those are just an excuse for "STREET FIGHTER II AGAIN except Vega 'cause he's like the one cool guy and we can't have that, oh and a couple guys we borrowed from some company OH AND WE HAVE RYU AGAIN BECAUSE EVERYONE LOVES RYU"

"You're alive," said the maker, and smiled at the aardvark.

i like the first two sonic advance games but the third one stunk the place up a whole lot
sonic heroes was pretty bad too
sonic battle's story mode was really shitty and boring, but the straight fighting section was quite entertaining

I can think of a few Ryan.
You know, I just realized now how fucking similar the title screens are.
