1080 series

I've been playing these games and have really enjoyed the series(I prefer the Gamecube one more). Kickass music, great controls, and visuals impressive for the Gamecube, what else did you expect in a snowboarding game?

Timesplitters series

Okay, I'm surprised that no one mentioned it yet :? This is the fps that my friends and I play on the Xbox. No none of that Halo crap but FUCKING Timesplitters. I liked the option to choose over 100+ characters and in Story mode, it was a blast to play( also funny :lol: ).

You guys got a great list already..
My #1 would be Streets of Rage.

Adventures of Lolo
Sengoku
Wizards & Warriors

How about "Make My Video" with a Rockband tie in so you'd have the band and like a "director" hahaha worst idea ever


Oh yeah, and a new SEGA console :D

Dude! Are you serious!? On my 360 it says I've logged 140 hours on Fallout 3. It totally has all of the charm and references from the original fallout games. If you play it you will not be dissapointed.

New Vegas does make me a little skeptical. Bethesda made 3 which was a brand new developer but they made a masterpiece. A new studio is taking New Vegas so I don't know what to think. :/

Out of every game that has ever tracked my time, Fallout 3 has gotten the most from me. Second only to Final Fantasy 10 which took like 80. Thats a big gap. If earlier games did this though I'm pretty sure Twisted Metal 2, Soul Blade and tetris for the gameboy would be up there too. :o

But on topic, I'd love to see a new Cadillacs and Dinosaurs. This arcade cabinet was in the laundromat next to the video store my dad ran when I was a little kid. If anyone's intersted you can play it on a CPS1. It's an excellent beat em' up with loads of style. I heard there was a second one on the saturn I think? I'm not positive though.

hmm is it just me or are people posting games which just havnt had any news recently. I mean there are plenty of great things here but i think the lines for 'resurrected' have been blurred when people start saying series which in my eyes havn't really died as such. There are plenty of games on the list which didn't even skip a generation yet they just havn't seen a release on the current gen as of yet and i hardly think that counts as a 'dead' series?
Or am i just nitpicking? haha! =D

I'd love to say sonic needs to be resurrected because he was truly dead to me from his recent iterations however sonic 4 and even sonic colours look promising so i think he has already in part been resurrected for me, but we'll see when they come out i guess haha XD

The problem with that advice is that the "quit it" portion of the process becomes much more complicated after the "hit it" maneuver has been completed. Much easier to "quit it" before all else.
