Why change genre for a sequel?

When you play a Dead Space game it’s a fantastic third person horror game, so why is the Wii spinoff/sequel an on rails shooter?

When Capcom announce new Resident Evil games on the Wii why are they on rails shooters? Resident Evil is a third person survival horror game!

When certain games get portable spinoff or sequels why is the gameplay completely changed into a card based system? Fans would have gotten really excited for a proper Metal Gear Solid game on the PSP, but instead they get a card game and while Ac!d was fun, it wasn’t Metal Gear.

The Best Games Of This Generation

In mere weeks the 360, PS3 and Wii generation will be over, yes technically the Wii was replaced a year ago but the rest are about to be replaced so it’s time for the retrospective. This isn’t necessarily in any order of console or quality. Just the order I find them, this is a list of games I played not the list of every game.

The best game I played this generation. Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch.
