"Modern Warfare"
A first-person shooter game, "Modern Warfare" is the fourth installment in the "Call of Duty" video game series and is all about executions, civil war and politics. Pretty heavy, even for a video game.
-
"Halo"
Not into interstellar wars between humanity and a bunch of theocratic aliens? Well then, you wouldn't like "Halo" too much...because that's exactly what the sci-fi franchise is about.
-
"Rock Band"
Perhaps the most interactive of all the video games mentioned, "Rock Band" is a musical game that comes with a set of two guitars, drums and a microphone. We bet you can all imagine what happens after that.
-
"Madden NFL"
"Madden NFL" has been in the sports video game business since 1988 and currently has 12 versions. And though popular among its fans, the game is also known among critics' circles as super lame.

This question is part of our "Best of 2011" series. Vote on them all!
Don't get us wrong: we love video games. Video games are awesome and fun and a nice little break from reality. But is it just us or are some of the most popular games out there getting a little old? With countless different versions of the same old thing, there are a good amount of video games out there that we feel have been burnt-out to the core.
From the criminal-infested "Grand Theft Auto" to the alien-obsessed "Halo" and even the limitless versions of a simple sports video game like "Madden NFL," we've tried to come up with some of the most popular, overplayed and overhyped video games still out there.
We've narrowed it down to these five winners (or losers) and we'd love for you to have a say in the final vote. What do you think is the most burnt-out video game franchise?

Every game is identical. They literally slap another number on it and make the graphics better.
As for Modern Warfare and Madden NFL, those are what truly are repetitive. Though you must consider die-hard fans of football will obviously continually enjoy it most-likely, and same for war fans. It's just their kind of thing.
I've never played Halo so I wouldn't know, but I'll much prefer Guitar Hero over Rock Band any-day.
Grand theft auto will always sell millions of copies even if it is GTA 24958
Rock Band is one of the best games ever to play with friends when party'n in a house...it will never get old as long as they keep doing more bands and more songs...
MW and Halo will always have their following and sell a million copies.. didnt MW just break an all time entertainment record for sales?!?!?!? beating even Avatar at the movies!?!? why would you put that as an answer here????
Since I was forced, I had to vote for madden... because I never really liked the game at all... but im sure there are those out there who love it and would buy madden 2075 someday...
I know I will be playing hockey on EA's NHL2065 from my wheelchair in some nursing home if I can still see the TV because I love that game.
Madden is just as lazy! Just update some stats and boom, new game. I don't care how much they improve the hit collision engine. In reality, the game is played the exact same way. It's just a newer shiner upgrade over the previous one.
IN face, the same can be said about all these franchises on the list. I'd like to see them all just die.
They are practically the same game, and there is a lot of popularity amongst them.
I just don't understand why though.
I just don
everybody I know already is drooling about GTA5 being announced in gameinformer this month.
Madden NFL
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare
Street Fighter
Tekken
Soul Calibur
MotoGP
Ridge Racer
Dead Rising
Marvel vs Capcom
I hate EA, Activision, NAMCO and Capcom. These MFs will keep milking their franchises until customers stopped buying. I'm sure to get these guys bankrupt ASAP.
