There are many games series out there- Zelda, Metriod, House of the Dead, Silent Hill, Crash Bandicoot, Ratchet and Clank, Jak and Daxter...among many many others.
There are game series that are out there though, that just do NOT know when to quite. These game series I about to talk about should have ended long ago, but for some reason they keep going for no apparent reason, other than just to milk money however they can.

Final Thought-
This series should have ended after a Code Veronica sequel. Yes, I used to be into Resident Evil way too much. At least Silent Hill has made five games and kept the basic idea of what Silent Hill always was and kept it eerie.

Resident Evil
Resident Evil, I used to love this series. It was the game that series that would make me hide under my covers after playing it as a kid. I had always been horrified of the dead and when a game is pretty much putting you in the middle of dead zombies, when that is a fear of yours already, it's never a good thing for the player.
The first 4 games of the series were absolutey amazing. 1/2/3/Code Veronica. Everything was brilliant, I don't think I had ever been so wrapped up in a video games storyline as much as I had then when Veronica was released in 2000? 01?
The sad thing about Resident Evil now, is ever since Code Veronica, the storyline hasn't went anywhere at all. 0 was a horribly boring prequel, and the best parts about it were going through areas of the second game (near the end) just to see how it looked in the Umbrella lab.
Four was the game that changed everything, and it was a great game, but it didn't do anything for the story at all..not ONE thing that I can recall was really answered at all. Actually, the storyline itself was pretty damn stupid when you see a mini-george washington zombie cult looking idiot.
I don't understand why they just didn't complete the 'umbrella' story. I mean we had everything after Code Veronica, all we needed was one more game to finish that story off, leading into Resident Evil 4 which would have been a better transition into different territory.
Now we are going into the 5th game soon, all the anticipation to even care what happens is gone. Hopefully there is more story and answers in this new game. I just hope it doesn't go in ridiculous directions like 4 went in.
