Of the gaming fanchises you've played and hold meaning to you, which have been most poorly handled?

I can think of several:

Socom- The franchise failed making the transition to the HD gen because they wanted it to appeal to everyone, switched developers and released buggy games.

Silent Hill- After the 4th game Konami allowed the franchise to be dragged in the mud by giving the reins to incompetent developers

Resident Evil- Pretty obvious

Mario Kart- Just my opinion, but the franchise has been continually dumbed down since the 64 version. They removed most of the skill in the game. Btw, I haven't played mk7.

I'm sure I'll think of more and will add to the list.

dead space- cant believe I forgot this one

star fox- adventures was a good game, but not a star fox game. Assault was bad IMO. The franchise has been dead to me for a long time

command & conquer

Safe to add Ratchet and Clank at this point. How they went from Crack in Time to the mess they have now so quickly is beyond me.
