Games Radar: The Top 7... Franchise Embarrassments

Every family's got one. The drunken brother-in-law. The cousin with a criminal record. The perverted uncle who hasn't been invited to reunions or holidays since his incident with the goat. Whatever the name and whatever the shame, we all know that one relative we're just not supposed to talk about.

Every videogame franchise has one of these regrettable members as well. Fans and developers may try to ignore, forget or even erase its existence, but the stain will always remain. Here are the seven most surprising... and most humiliating.

Nice find but WTF is Prince Of Persia: WW doing there? It was a find game. What about POP 3D? Now that was a disaster.

I hadn't even heard of some. Resident Evil Gaiden!? Also, they should have included Mortal Kombat: Special Forces as well as Devil May Cry 2 and Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel.

Looking Back to 2004 and the Dark Prince of Persia: Warrior Within

Edgar writes: "Back in the early 2000s, Prince of Persia was the franchise to beat. Parkour-like traversal, intricate puzzles and intense combat: what's not to like? Earning flattering review scores and numerous awards, The Sands of Time established itself as the prime action-adventure game. But how does one follow up something so flawless? Two words: Warrior Within."

This game was really hard! It took me over a year to beat and one of my friends just couldn't do it. I wish I'd known at the time about getting all the collectables in order to kill the Dahaka.

KaaF1613d ago

That game was pretty unique, the Dahaka is one of the best bosses in video games ever, the battle mechanics really felt like aerobics.

vTuro241613d ago

Loved the Prince of Persia games, hope they'll make a return some day.

Fist4achin1613d ago

Yes. I was going to say there hasn't been any POP entries in a long time.

wwinterj1613d ago

I'd even settle for another remaster of the old games.

cochise3131613d ago

This was my favorite one. Still have it for the gamecube.

This is the best combat system made by Ubisoft.

GRAW2 and Ninja Gaiden 2 and I’ll be set. I’m a little bitter though you can’t buy Splinter Cell Blacklist digitally, I certainly would have bought a new copy to play, I don’t have my disc anymore and I’ll never own another game on disc. Same thing happened with Red River, not sure why it happens but it is disappointing.

Sophisticated_Chap2078d ago

You can actually buy Blacklist digitally:

https://marketplace.xbox.co...

I agree with you though, we need GRAW2, but the game that I am really waiting for is The Darkness (the first game). I just played through GRAW1, and it was the first time that I had ever played the Xbox 360 version. It was good, but GRAW2 is definitely heads and tails above it in terms of the campaign.

It they could ever manage to release FEAR1 digitally, that would be awesome, but not likely.

Would love Dishonored 1 and the Batman Arkham games on BC, the remastered versions of those games is hot garbage.

DivineAssault 2078d ago

Do people actually play 360 games on the xb1 or do they kinda toy around for a while to check out the improvements? Im curious because i cant stand last gen games

annoyedgamer2077d ago

Yes, especially the miltiplayer games. I used it for Black Ops 2.

DivineAssault 2077d ago

I can see that. I dont like shooters but if you play those, i guess youd be really into the BC

Einhander19712078d ago

I bought the Xbox one X because of the backwards compatibility. Last gen games look amazing, Gears, Red dead look incredible in 4K. Still some of the best games were on last gen.

Lon3wolf2077d ago

Infinite Undiscovery is the only one I'm waiting on, I replayed Blue Dragon when it hit BC.
