...or quite past-it? I was thinking about this, and I was alarmed at how many of mine were. For all the great games out today, it saddens me to realise how many of my favourites have been lost:
1. Pokemon - Alive
2. Gran Turismo - Alive
3. Jak and Daxter - Pretty Dead
4. Worms - Past it
5. LMA Manager - Dead
6. Theme Park - Dead
7. Wipeout - Almost certainly died (or changed forever...) with Studio Liverpool's death this week
8. Uncharted - Alive
9. Guitar Hero - Alive, but for how much longer?
10. Super Mario Galaxy - Alive, but if NSMBWii sells much more, I wonder how many SMGs we'll get in future...
How about you? (Yes, I know my top 10's an odd bunch, lol).

Studio liverpool is not dead. It's merely a restructuring.
Also anyone saying tekken is wrong. Despite it being their own opinion. Tekken 6 is unarguably the best tekken game yet. It is EPIC !
As for mine.. . Well
Command & Conquer would be one. It's been dead since westwood closed.
Heroes of might and magic ? well i thought the 5th game was good.. but too slow .. I'm not sure ubisoft is making a 6th.
Dark Messiah of might and magic. .. It's hands down the best first person game i've played where you could do melee fights. It's truly an astonishing game. Awesome. It didn't sell well though (i think ?) so hopes for a sequal are slim
Universe At War: Earth Assault. Again a truly epic game but very underrated. Microsoft and sega delaying a patch for more than a year destroyed a lot of the online part of the game.. But it's a rts that's even more adverse than starcraft and while it does have a few flaws.. It's definetly one of the best rts games of all time.
I have plenty that are still around. probably a bunch more has died off too.. Anyways.. It's how it is. .. And sometimes the franchises get resurrected and sometimes they don't. Fortunately, most games has a satisfying story and a conclusion if you play them through, so the lack of a continuation of the franchise is often not as bad as it could be.

Heroes of M&M certainly isn't dead.
Dark Messiah, I just watched a ton of 'lets play' videos of it on YouTube last night. I don't know why I skipped that game, probably cos of mediocre reviews. But it looked very good on those walk-throughs. Had bigger variation in environments than I thought too.
I'd be very surprised if Dark Messiah got a sequel.

Dark Messiah had some bugs before it's patch meaning that it didn't always work right off the bat. I didn't really have a lot of problems but sometimes it would crash upon loading (for some users) and the multiplayer was developed by someone else then the singleplayer and the fact that you didn't keep your levels when you leveled up in multiplayer was a pretty big dislike. (atleast to me and I can imagine it having dragged down the score.)
It is hands down one of the best games in my opinion though. The story is great with lots of stuff. You specialize your class and choose how to go about playing it. There are 3 or 4 different endings depending on your choises throughout the game ..
It has a diabloish (almost) tech system where you can assign points to multiple tech trees as you level up during the course of the game.
For instance. When I play it, I generally choose to be a warrior but with minor magical abilities such as healing. You could also go fully magician, or magician rogue, or just a ranger.. Or an assassin... There are a lot of options. It's a shame that so many people missed out on it. I think I've played through it 6-8 times.. This is despite the fact that I don't often play through a game more than once :p

Interesting. Sounds so underrated. Great story, 4 different endings, specialized classes, leveling..
6-8 times, I'm impressed. When was the last time u played it? I was about to try it, what class u suggest I choose? Actually there arent classes per se, it's your choise of abilities that determines it, or?
