I Completely Disagree!

I was on yahoo yesterday and I saw a rather interesting news article in their gaming section! It was about the top 5 games that should retire. The first one was sonic the hedgehog which I completely agree with. It has been going on too long and its not really going nowhere. I think that they should retire even if it was for just a few years so they could completely rethink it and come back with something that has never been done in the sonic franchise. Second they listed the Tony Hawk pro skateboarding series. I also agree with this one. I didn't become a gamer until the PlayStation era so I don't remember a time without these games. They are just old news, its enough already! The third game listed was the Assassins Creed franchise. When I saw it I absolutely could not believe it. Sure we are on number four now but every new game gets better. The first was crap to the second, the second was crap to the third, and the third was crap to the fourth. I am sure that when they release the fifth one this summer or whenever they said, it will make the fourth one look like absolute crap. I honestly don't remember the fourth one but i think it was one of those anime games that I don't play. The last one they listed was the Sims. I do and I don't agree with this one. I agree because they release way too many add-ons between games. There is going to be 6 in march with the addition of showtime and honestly I think five was too many. The reason I don't agree with yahoo's article is because it is still a fun game that makes it easy to waste a few hours tortur....... I mean caring for your Sims. Anyway please tell me what you think and tell me about any other games that you feel should retire. Oh one more thing! I know my posting has been erratic lately but I got an English Bulldog puppy for Christmas and long story short, he is a lot more work than anticipated! I'll post a pic of him later today!
