Very nice article Eldiablov. It is sad to see Spyro go down the drain like that, but I don't think it's due to the length of the series, just developer incompetence. Look at Ratchet and Clank, it hasn't hit any bumps in the road yet (unless you count Deadlocked), and the series is still going quite strong. Perhaps it's just a stronger IP, but Spyro was none to shabby itself.

Awesome peice of history right there eldiablov 
And also a crude lesson for all wannabe developers to learn. Be very careful with your IP's.
I wonder what would have become of Spyro if Insomiac had kept the IP under their wing.

Look back on the Croc series. It was not as good as you remember xD
Believe me I know.

Mario's holes have been plumbed for all they've got. I can't pick a Mario game ever since Mario 64.
Seriously, the freaking games get worse after each iteration.

I must say, however, that New Super Mario Bros. was actually a very good, enjoyable game.

That's the original Mario remake isn't it? It was good, but again: "been there, done that" feeling settled a little while playing it... But it was a very good remake... A clear exception

I knew I should have finished it -.-
I should ask for my cousin's DS again and try it again then...
You bring up a good point in your Spyro article. Publishers/Developers need to know when to let a series end, before it get's milked into oblivion. Mario's an example of one that's starting to go down that path. On the other hand, Nintendo/Retro Studios managed to end Metroid Prime in a good manner.
