I'm sure everyone has heard the term Halo Killer, or Mario Killer, so my question is has there ever been a game released that actually killed off a franchise or game?

The Sonic the Hedgehog series was the ultimate Sonic-killer.

Madden killed the other series of NFL games... Err Maybe some of the other music games aren't so popular with GH and RB, but thats about it.

^thats a game commiting suicide, I want to find a game that actually killed another game lol

Hmm I think I got one. Unreal Tournament killed Quake 3 Arena. That pretty much killed Quake as the "Top dog" of the multiplayer shooters on PC.

no. People are just crazy and like to argue about what's better than what even though it's all just personal opinion...

Yes. Battlefield series... It killed the cnc fps series called the "Renegade" games. They were working on a sequal in 2003 with graphics that rival half life 2 in 2005. EA decided to stop production of it because they were also publishing battlefield series. Didn't want it to hinder sales. Then again it could also have been because they were gonna close westwood studios.. which i think also happened in 2003.. damn you ea.

Yeah, it happens. Most of the time though, its when a genre has a good set of games, but then a massive, standard setting games come out for the genre. If its big enough it will overshadow all other games in the genre. Take Madden for exmple.

The majority of (non plot driven) games kill their predecessor. Ie Guitar Hero 4 killing the legs of GH3
