A new generation of consoles means a fresh start, a clean slate – a perfect time to introduce new IP’s… or breath fresh breath into long forgotten franchises which deserve a second chance. We put our collective heads together and asked out readers and came up with a list of relics from the past that need to be dusted off and given another chance. We take a look at the top 30 game franchises that need to come out of retirement and make an appearance on the shiny next-gen hardware.
Pac-Pix launched in 2005 as a Nintendo DS exclusive, and deserves to make a comeback on modern touchscreen devices.
Ibrahim from eXputer: "The Medal of Honor franchise was once the crown jewel of FPS war games, later defeated by the tides of time and poor development."
They tried to turn it into Call of Duty and it killed it off. They should reboot it and go back to it's roots. But they'd ruin it with online-only/multiplayer style bullshit so why bother? I have very fond memories of these games, but this series can stay dead as far as I'm concerned.
Was literally just thinking of this game the other week with the secret nut cracker mission and the shooting Bismarck dog lmao. Loved these games as a kid
I have fond memories of playing the Medal of Honor Breakthrough MP Demo. It had two maps and custom servers. Living on campus, I had it downloaded on one of the PC Lab servers so I could access it on any computer at the university. Joined a clan and made friends that I still keep in touch with today.

Double dragon, battletoads, megaman

For fucks sake, I lost my social life to TimeSplitters 2 & 3 back in the days. Whoring 4 player split-screen matches with my buddies was one of the best and most fun I've ever had in gaming.
Pls bring back us a HD collection ;(..
All really good ones, I'd certainly like to add the Gauntlet series. I've been itching to play it for a while. Even if they just put it on the various systems respective shops I'd be happy with that.
