Guitar Hero, Crash Bandicoot, Tony Hawk, Call of Duty, Final Fantasy, old Nintendo franchises (Mario, Zelda, Metroid), any yearly sports series, etc.

Then theres games that are really close to becoming overdone (even though they still sell well) like Ratchet & Clank, Skate, Halo, GTA, etc.

 

I would have included Gran Turismo but they only come out every couple years usually and there hasn't been one yet this gen. There's been 3 Halo's and another coming 2010 so far this gen.


Im sorry but can you at least explain to me how zelda is milked, overdue and over saturated........... also it sells well too......

According to wikipedia there's been 14 Zelda games in the main series, 11 Zelda spinoffs, and 6 remakes, that's how. I'm not saying they aren't great or don't sell well, so don't get all upset with me. Any franchise that has this many games in it I'd have to consider milked.

I based my list off of number of games/frequency of games coming out, not quality of the games.

There's been 13 Zelda games released over 22 years, it'll be 14 when Spirit Tracks comes out next month.  There's also been real 1 remake (Japan only, download only), 5 ports, 2 spinoffs and 5 digital reissues on the Virtual Console.  That's a total of 21 retail releases over 22 years.  

There's been 5 GT games over 11 years (it'll be 6 in March).  1 spinoff, 3 Prologues, 4 Concepts (one digital only). That's a total of 13 retail releases over 12 years.

There's been 4 Halo games released over 8 years, it'll be 5 in 9 years next fall.  There's also been 3 ports, 1 spinoff, and 2 digital reissues via Xbox Originals. That's a total of 9 retail releases over 9 years.

There's been 8 Rachet & Clank games over 8 years.  There's also been 1 spinoff and 2 ports.  That's a total of 11 retail releases over 8 years.

There's been 3 Skate games over 3 years (it'll be 4 in May).  There's also been 3 ports (will be 4 in May) and a mobile game.  That's a total of 8 retail releases in 3 years.

There's been 4 GTA games over 12 years.  There's also been 9 "expansions" (2 digital, though 1 retail release combining them), 16 ports and a tn of mobile games and digital reissues.  That's 28 retail releases over 12 years.
