CSM:
"The first game in the Raving Rabbids series was a hot seller for the Wii because it let players experiment with the unique capabilities of Nintendo's remote and nunchuk controllers. It's been two years, and there are now plenty of games that offer fun, unexpected things to do with these peripherals, but TV Party keeps the Raving Rabbids franchise on the leading edge of innovative motion sensitive interface with minigames that see players using Nintendo's controllers as everything from a motorcycle's handlebars to a flashlight. What's more, TV Party makes use of the Mario Kart Wii steering wheel peripheral as well as the Wii Fit Balance Board (which players can sit on and then lean from side to side to steer a cow down a mountain).
That said, there are also a few too many rehashes. TV Party's music rhythm games, which involve shaking the remote and nunchuk in accordance with on-screen cues, have been seen before in both previous entries in the series. Ditto for the plunger shooting episodes, which place players behind a camera on rails and have them point the remote at the screen to target stray rabbids wandering about movie sets. It's fun stuff, just not quite as compelling as it once was."
"I think if you asked most people who have been following the Rabbids IP what direction Ubisoft should take the series in next, they would probably ask for another platformer. I, on the other hand, actually want to see a mini-game collection again. And here's why." -- Wiiloveit.com
The Raving Rabbid Party Collection brings more family fun to the Wii system in a setting that both kids and adults will find entertaining.

Those series and mascots ended and no one blinked an eye. But what about those great game franchises that really were good, but for some reason went missing? We've compiled a list of the top five franchises that we consider to be the most wanted franchises that have disappeared. The franchises span multiple console generations and various platforms, but one thing they all have in common is that they were great. While the reasons they disappeared differs, one thing they all have in common is that we would gobble them up if a new game was made. So without anymore delay, here's today's top five."
Ahh Elise. A classic video game babe. lol Hmm, what did happen to SSX? That seems like a no brainer to have a sequel.
I soent endless hours playing Tricky. Me and my cousin would stay up all night on that one.
I thought SSX had sequels. I think this game was SSX Tricky. Kaori and Mac/Zac were my favorites I could do 3 Trickies in the air with them.
Eternal Champions was great on Sega, and I believe it too had a sequel, but the sequel didn't sell well due to Virtua Fighter.
I bet Sly Cooper is still alive and kicking. It's just taking the back seat to inFamous.
They all did. Even Vectorman had a sequel. Eternal Champions on the Sega CD too. I think it's more about what happened to the franchise, not is there a sequel.
Mechassault was a great game....still play it with my son from time to time...
Perfect Dark zero...The first version this GEN had potential...it was in development last gen and was launch title...
Kameo....launch title....great game play and graphics...didn't sell very well tho...
Black hawk down...would do well in the shooter crazy gen will live in...
Sniper Elite...same, great sniper moments in that game...
SW Battlefront on consoles...whats the deal?..that game was great...
Turok...dinosaurs with guns like in evolution...The last one this gen sold badly...if its not broke, don't fix it....
Luigi's mansion...yes, still play this with the kids/wife...incredible game...
Mario Sunshine....c'mon now...one of the best platforming games out there...
ssx was better than tony hawk most of the times...
sly cooper was a really good game. it fit the face of Sony well
i wonder why they didn't make him a first party face.
but BTW whats with all these top 5 top 7 and top 10 x and x etc articles
feeling like fb right now.
I would love a new Sly Cooper game. A new Legacy of Kain game would be a huge seller too.
God of War killed Legacy of Kain. Just like how Assassin Creed killed Prince of Persia.
Wow does your name suit you. You think God of War killed Legacy of Kain? The financial issues with Crystal Dynamics killed Kain. That series was the sh*t! PoP is dead? Tell that to the movie and inevitable games that are coming.
what about jak and daxter, i want a new one now, as for that little voodo doll game it was crap.
TimeSplitters
SSX
The Getaway
Ape Escape
Star Wars:Battlefront
+ If they could all be PS3 ONLY that would be a BONUS!!! ;-P
