The gold watch award is given to the franchise that needs to be put into retirement. This year saw another return of Sonic, the 12th Need for Speed title and five Guitar Hero games (across multiple platforms/devices). Enough! We're not saying cancel these franchises outright but taking a breather, sitting back and deciding where to go next could be a good idea. Or in the case of some games, maybe you should let us play through this one before you go ahead and throw us a new title (looking at you Activision) Here are the nominees for this year's Gold Watch Retirement Award.
