Now this may come as a surprise to most of you, I'm sure you weren't expecting anyone to say this but...
Call of Duty. I wouldn't go as far to say it destroys gaming, in fact there are ways in which it helps the industry, it's helped put gaming into the mainstream for example. But I do wish it would decline in popularity so that other developers wouldn't insist on borrowing heavily from COD when creating a multiplayer experience. I feel like the only multiplayer focused console FPS that hasn't been "codified" is Battlefield, and I'm even starting to have doubts about that series since it's been clear for some time that EA are putting it in direct competition with COD.
