10 Worst Attempts At Rebooting Video Game Franchises
2,263Every property has a shelf-life. However well a classic video game franchise is regarded, the fact is that the medium will quite happily move on without it. One way to keep classic series relevant is to reinvent them, allowing them to grow and take advantage of new hardware, new trends, and new design philosophies.

Of course, the existence of a list like this one makes clear that reboots are not always the critical and commercial success stories that developers intended them to be. In fact, sometimes they are rebooted so poorly that they end up having to be rebooted once more, several years later, just to save face. Here are the 10 Worst Attempts at Rebooting Video Game Franchises.
