The SWAT Series
SWAT 4 was a great online game, despite its flaws. Played the shit outa it, and still would if GameSpy didnt pull the plug on the servers.

Crash Bandicoot
Spyro The Dragon (because Skylanders dropped that little Gremlin it called Spyro faster than I dropped the egg I had to take care of as if it were a child back in grade 7)
And well Legacy of Kain. Though the only way I could see them reviving this series without infuriating fans would involve them probably having to drop Kain from the title and just having revolve around another part of Nosgoths? history. Maybe a game based around a young Vorador or the ancient vampires and the Hylden.
TOMBA!!

Devil May Cry. shame they never continued the series after the third one. It was shaping up to be a really good one too. Who shelves a franchise after two games anyway?
Age of Mythology: That one is mostly for the nostalgic reasons on my part since I never got into te multiplayer scene and don't know if its worthy of the mystrious word "balanced" or sold that much in the ifrst place but single player was just too much.
Megaman: I just couldn't believe how Capcom has ran this series into the ground.( I know better now though) There is no reason why it couldn't be developed with a more modest budget in mind. Its sales wasn't setting the world on fire maybe but it has proven time and time again that it has a decent fanbase so...we will never get a new one will we?
Half Life: This one might be a bit obscure but it could definitely use at least one more game before being canned.
Opposing Force: Now this one might not be a series but it certainly deserves to have one. I always considered it to be the hyperactive cousin of the main series. May not be as subtle but puts it to shame at times.
Oh and somebody needs to dig out the Adventure Island series, write the first and the fourth game out of the series and make it a digital only title please.

Turok. Always Turok.
Turok, Turok, Turok.
If you've seen me around here before, I always post Turok. There's no reason why it shouldn't. It was a great series, until the pretty average 2008 reboot.
The game wasn't grounded by one setting, since it was all over. The games could have any number of creative environments, with awesome creatures, and fucking Dinosaurs.
The weapons were awesome.
Easily my favorite video game soundtracks of all time (mainly 1 and 2).
And had a very interesting story.
The Turok lineage needs to be continued.

Aww, I was hoping I'd be the first to mention this one. I have loved that series since it's beginning. Tenchu Z had the great idea of allowing you to make your own Ninja. It's only real downside was the repetition of levels. Co-op was great fun too.Chester Rabbit said:
I also loved this series. Especially as I first played it when I was quite young (I have always enjoyed strategy games) and found it impossible without cheats. I then bought them later when older and could do them properly.ron1n said:
Dark Cloud/Chronicle. Oh god, a new one of those would be a system seller for me.
They both had their own strengths and flaws but man the weapon systems and town building were just excellent. Throw in the character switching, photography/invention, time travelling and other shenanigans and it's still a series I hook up the ol PS2 to play through again.

Gargoyle's Quest desperately needs a sequel. Even when Firebrand was in one of the fighting games, we didn't get super-muscled badass Firebrand.
We got the Firebrand that came from some guy's attempt to draw a character he knows nothing about, which was then slapped on as the front cover.
Capcom hates quality.
Speaking of Capcom, although you could argue that Dead Rising is a spiritual sequel to Breath of Fire, Breath of Fire 5. There's going to be something similiar. Only in Japan. On mobiles.
Capcom hates national accesability.
EDIT: D. D was probably the only good game on the 3DO, and is known today as a cult classic, where you are a college student investigating her father's murders. It was then made into a survival horror game, then into a weird... thing, that came from one of the developer's Parasite Eve fan projects.

Rise of Nations. For when you want to play Civ but don't have the time.
Age of Empires + Mythology. I loved those series so much. Shame there was never a sequel to AoM and III ran AoE into the ground.
The whole Railroad, Zoo, and Rollercoaster Tycoon franchises. Give them a neat overhaul whilst retaining the core gameplay.
Conflict: Desert Storm, etc. Honestly I'm not sure about this one, because it worked perfectly on PS2, but not sure how it'd translate to newer systems. SOCOM would do just as well. Either way, a spiritual successor to these series except bigger and badder.
For all these games, none of the typical dumbing-down and oversimplification that have become so common with simulators and strategy.

SEGA actually said that they're gonna let the recently acquired Atlus to use any of their old franchises to revive them if they so choose. So we could get a Shinobi, Shenmue, or a Phantasy Star Universe from Atlus...pilouuuu said:
OT: Dammit, Sir Daniel Fortesque was taken, so I'll throw in my old cards of Ape Escape (not the Move game, we don't talk about that one...), Conker's Bad Fur Day, a sequel to Diddy Kong Racing like we were hinted at, and the most important one:
[HEADING=1]Megaman![/HEADING]
I want my Legends 3 dammit! >.<
