10 Amazing Series Microsoft Should Bring Back From the Dead

COG writes - Despite being the youngest of the three console makers, Microsoft still has plenty of dormant IPs that could use a resurgence.

[TheColbertinator]

Another Crimson Skies with Xbox Live today would be awesome. One of Microsoft's best IPs of all time.

[christocolus]

Another crimson skies would be nice. My brother and I played CS a lot back then.

[Paytaa]

Bring back Azurik: Rise of Perathia as a deep complex RPG. Game wasn't perfect but still enjoyed the hell out of it.

[Sonyslave3]

I just want another otojo game and that sport game game where you had to throw the disc inside a goalie to score.

[Paytaa]

Deathrow. One of the best couch multiplayer games I've ever played.

[christocolus]

Deathrow was the name of the game . I loved it so much.A sequel on Xbox One would be great.

[zerocarnage]

I think ninety nine nights should have a brand new game. I miss playing that hack n slash and was pretty Damn hot .I enjoyed how it had a quintine tarantino style story type where it would bring in the story a bit more with each character on every new play through. The game had exciting characters to and to be honest was just as good as warriors orochi or dynasty warriors or samurai warriors.

Out of them all that one should be on the list..

[DeeBeers]

Mechassault, Crimson Skies, Fusion Frenzy, Whacked. Particularly Mechassault, though. Put that Crackdown3 destruction engine to work!

[denawayne]

Definitely MechAssault. Good idea on the Crackdown destruction.

[OpieWinston]

Kung Fu Chaos was the perfect bloody Super Smash Bros.
Bring back Conker please!

[christocolus]

I'd give anything to get a sequel to Kung Fu Chaos and a new Fuzion Frenzy game.

[OpieWinston]

One day.... ONE DAY we will see a Fuzion Frenzy reboot. And it'll be glorious. The same day I get Kung Fu Chaos again and a 1vs100 game brought back.
MAKE IT HAPPEN MICROSOFT!

[Fist4achin]

Wow, two lines in this article that I'm not so sure about. One about Ninja Theory's DMC being the best and about Banjo K's Nuts and Bolts being the best entry. I didn't quite agree, but other than that, xbox had so many games that it could revive and either go the route of remake or reboot and they could be working with gold if done right.

[RedCloud88]

A Viva Pinata mobile ftp game with a paid console counterpart would be pretty sick. Build and manage gardens on your phone in that Fanily Guy/Simpsons Tapped Out visual style, then boot up your xb1/windows 10 version and continue playing with visuals made possible by the better hardware. I'd buy that, just don't make the mobile game exclusive to Windows Phones please.

[Yi-Long]

Rallisport Challenge should have been on this list.

[PutridPlop]

Another Freelancer would be nice too.

[Nolando]

As much as i like this list i would replace PGR with with Mech Assault.

I LOVED PGR on the xbox and 360, but i feel Horizon has taken its place and if M$ were to add a third exclusive racing franchise to the mix it might saturate things. I mean i guess PGR could be more strictly street racing arcade game between Horizon and Forza but i still think Horizon has the best elements of PGR.

A new mech assault. omg would be amazing. i also rather enjoyed Blood Wake and Fusion Frenzy as far a console games. if we are talking PC too, BRING BACK AGE OF EMPIRES DANGIT!

[BlackIceJoe]

I'd enjoy a new Crimson Skies and Blood Wake. It would be nice to see what those Xbox games would look like on Xbox One. Another game that could be interesting would be Brute Force and have it be like it was originally announced as.

I know it won't happen, but a dream game I'd enjoy would be Obsidian reviving Shadowrun as an open world game. I know not everyone is a fan of the new Fallout games, but I think it would be cool to see what Shadowrun could look like in that view. I also would let Harebrained Schemes still make the top down ones and then every five years Obsidian can bring out the first person ones.

[Xavior_Reigns]

Despite hiw awesome of these IPs were or those that had potential, MS will likely never bring them back. Why? Because they wont sell like Halo, Gears, aand Forza (which already sells way less than it deserves.) I would put Fable but honestly, that IP turned to crap after 2. But who knows, MS is "gamer friendly" now right? Perhaps they'll make Mech Assault 3 as their own Titanfall.

[chuckyj1]

Sorry for all you Blinx fans... but, MS allowed that trademark to lapse quite awhile ago... So MS has pretty much buried that franchise 6 feet under.

[Munnkyman]

I would love a new crimson skies. I was hoping if star fox had multiplayer it would be like crimson sky's. Also I would love a new otogi

[No Way]

They may not all have been Xbox exclusive; however, Jade Empire, Cel Damage, Fuzion Frenzy and Blood Wake would all be great. Plus some on the list. Hell, I wouldn't even mind a Too Human 2 - just better. I still had fun with that game, lol. And bring back Fable, just let someone else handle it and see what they can do. I think Rare could do something magical with the Fable series.
