5 Game Series That Should Live Forever

I’m sure that a lot of you out there share the skepticism I have towards sequels. No matter how good a game is, most of the time, game developers tend to give us truly puke-worthy sequels. However, there are a few game franchises out there that have almost never disappointed us, giving us expansion after expansion, sequel after sequel of gaming goodness. Here are some of those franchises, and I hope that they live on forever, giving us the great games we hunger for:

Grand Theft Auto series


Love it or hate it, but you can’t ignore the fact that this series has revolutionized the gaming industry as we know it and has taken the term free roaming to a whole new level. Even though the first GTA game made its debut in 1998 in 2D, it was still an enjoyable experience and offered gamers the freedom to play the game as they pleased; be it the game’s plot or just running around town indulging in some wanton mayhem. Over the years the game made the transition to 3D and boasted of improved graphics, but the core gameplay remained the same and that was this series’ biggest strength (and it’s also the same thing that led to tons of lawsuits). Even though this series offers tons of controversial content, it’s still one of the most enjoyable and innovative games out there and with the jump to next gen, I have a feeling things will only get better.

It's quite short and it doesn't have any sort of versus multiplayer but The Darkness II is a polished and brutal shooter you should definitely check out, especially if you like ripping dudes to shreds.
