Why's that in a spoiler out of interest?
Because otherwise it would be massively long and I didn't want it to take up the whole page...
...And I've forgotten which things to delete if you don't want the whole thing, because I'm a fool XD

A game I want brought back i a little known gem called Warzone 2100.

It had a spiritual sequel, Earth 2150, but I still want a true sequel.
Wasn't Earth 2150 a sequel of Earth 2140... it then had a sequel called... Earth 2160...

Also for all the Dungeon Keeper fans, Evil Genius is based on the control scheme and is an awesome game.

They did talk of making a sequel of EG, with multiplayer and more awesomeness, but the company went bust :(

And another thing, Overlord and Prey are both remakes

And Halo does need to die, Zelda games had one good moment with walking BowWow in Link's Awakening and have gone down hill since...

I think I rambled randomly enough

Oh, that'd just about do it.

Bring back age of empires - start with age of empires three but *shouting at ensemble* "*****! get back over here >whip-crack< yews a gonna make a GUUD game this tayme; ya hear?!?!!"

Also, remake civ 4 with the civ 3 graphics engine (with a few minor fixes) or, if u insist on gimmicky 3D crap, just make it like R:TW.

There are other things I want - but I'm not sure what they are. I head-banged (for the first time in four years) to bach five minutes ago and i think i'm about to faint.
Sorry to give you the sad news here mate, but Ensemble Studious won't be making any more Age of Empires games... they were shut down by Microsoft.

Unfortunatly, they will have to end the series at number 3, which is a dissapointment to me to, AoE: III was too far from it's roots in AoE: II.

Stuff that I want dead:
Tomb Raider (AKA Dumb Raider), sure it was a nice series in the beginning (according to some), but come on, it is no fun anymore.
World of Warcraft - does this need any explenation? Anyways, namechange suggestion: World of Grindcraft.
Anything Mumbo Jumbo makes, because they backstabbed all the fans by killing the Sin-project.
Age of Conan - oh wait, that's killing itself.
FEAR-series - the first one was great (except for the heavy engine), the following expansions was too much of the same, FEAR 2 demo was just... lame.

Please let Elder Scrolls die.

Thats right - Just a series that I personally have never liked.

Yes I'd heard that - and what with Halo Wars I say good riddance - they used to be gods, but AoE III and HW killed them for me.

AoE II was for me the greatest RTS of all time - and many people would agree with me. AoE III was one of the worst RTSs i've ever discreetly stolen from a friend's younger brother's bedroom. I gave it back to him a week later and told him he shouldn't be playing that kinda trash
I haven't played Halo Wars, so I'll reserve my comment on that. I am going to have to mentally block out the Halo part of the title if I do play it however.
AoE II is one of the greatest yes, Warcraft III being one of the others. Personally I'd rather World in Conflict up high with AoE:II, but that's me.
AoE: III I was glad I asked my uncle to pick up a copy from maylasia for me.
[I liked AoE II so much I actually own two copies of the non-expansion. I bought one in a gold pack with the expansion, for slightly more than the expansion because it contained all the fancy extras. I'd bought AoE II the non-expansion earlier.]

I would really like to see the following 3 games brought back!

1 - Cannon Fodder: I used to love getting attatched to those little guys and seeing what rank I could get them upto. The level design was great and the controls simple and intuitive. Given how longs its been since its last installment I feel its long overdue a sequal.

2 - Elite: Given how good the other elite games were a sequal is long overdue. There is a whole generation on missed out on how good elite was trading, exploring, dog fighting and the immersion.

3 - Twisted Metal: More of the same please, more cars more enviroments and enhanced graphics. I want to go out and wreck shit.

Honourable mention goes to Kilelr Instinct and Dungeon Keeper!

That's funny I had a similar experience - i went to germany a young and silly boy, and bought the age of empires 2 expansion in english (for a good 50 euros or so) then went home only to discover that i couldn't play the game without age of empires II original. I asked mum to go buy me a german version and the angel did. Thanks again mum. Years later i stole an english AoE II from a friend. (well he lent it and never asked for it back)

I don't think any 3D rts can compare to the 2D games unless it's Age of Mythology or Ground Control I.
I wasn't trying to compare them, I was just saying I like it. xD
So you can speak german, or you installed them in english, or what?

Now I am actually convinced the Halo series is my personal best game series ever, I loved Halo, Halo 2 and Halo 3 equally, each for different reasons. However I worry that all these spin offs are going too far. Especially when many are being developed by someone OTHER than Bungie (there was no way of saying that without sounding like a fanboy, beleive me I've tried) and I just think the series is over. I may cry for no longer may I see the Arbiter or Cortana or even the Cheif but at least I know the series ended with the reputation of my favourite trilogy ever, keep it as a trilogy.
At the end of Halo 3, Masterchief hung up his rifle and said :
"Wake me when you need me."
And indeed the day may come when we do need Him, but it is not this day.

The franchises I want to see continued include Portal and Otogi, make a fucking Otogi 3 SEGA, quit it with Sonic. Fix up all the minor problems of the original and keep the great art design too, that would be a winner for sure!!

Game series to rot in the ground:
Star Wars games. I mean really...
Here here! That cow gets milked so often, it's popping out powdered milk. That crap isn't good for anyone. But will Lukas let it die? No, he'll go Vader on its ass; introduce lots of high tech life support, special effects, and the occation "I honestly don't need actors anymore thanks to computers." ...Oh, wait, that's the movies. Well, same diff.

Starwars Battlefront games are the only worthwhile star wars experience, I hope you will agree
