Old Favorites Struggle To Recreate Past Success

Just like almost every mighty empire in history, games have had their own share of mighty franchises rise to great heights, only to slowly see their legacy fade and crumble away. For various and sometimes numerous reasons, some of our old time favorites such as Sonic The Hedgehog, Spryo The Dragon and Crash Bandicoot popularities have all seen a serious decline over the course of the past few years.

All of these once proud titles have touched most of hearts at one time or another, proving that good old fashion craftsmanship is what truly determines whether a game will ultimately be successful, more so than the actual content put inside of it. After all, a cutesy game like Spryo The Dragon wasn't supposed to appeal to the hardcore gamer crowd. Yet, there we all were running around in circles trying to make a perfect jump from this ledge to that ledge in an attempt to collect every gem on the stage.
