How come? Resident Evil is a good game series.

So by extension of it being a good series, it should ride the train as long as possible and fart out so many sequels that any ounce of originality or respectability it once had is depleted?
As Joe pointed out, RE5 was kind of shit (omitting Mercenaries, which kicks ass). It's suffering from a serious case of series decay. With each release it departs more and more from it's roots, and has pretty much been diluted to a watered-down, poorly-written scrapbook of action cliches and sci-horror tropes. Wesker's dead, many of the major conflicts have been resolved, and there are almost as many fucking RE movies as there are games. Let it fucking
die.
Silent Hill has been doing the same thing lately (though to a lesser extent). We need a new horror series already.
