This post relates to: Dawn of Mana, Legend of Mana, Sword of Mana, Secret of Mana, What videogame franchise took the biggest turn for the worse?
I think that the Mana series has taken a dramatic left turn to Trash City. The older installments were really good, each one had a good fantasy story, with pretty good gameplay(for the time). I mean, Square(at the time) was know for 2 main series on the NES and SNES: the Final Fantasy and Mana series. Now, with Square's main focus on the Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest/Warrior series, the Mana series has been pushed aside, which means less time to make a good story. The games released now for the series are less than pale imitations of its predeccessors. I just hope in the future, Square remembers this series and brings it back to its former glory.

Salute: 1UP Acquired By UGO, Downsized; EGM ShutteredThe early days of 2009 are dark ones for Ziff Davis' erstwhile Game Group. Giant Bomb salutes the departed staffers.
Metal Gears of War?Do the makers of Metal Gear Solid need to shake things up to compete with Western games?

Rock Out With Your Blocks OutRumors! On the Internet? Impossible! But if they're to be believed, Lego and Rock Band are going to do a thing. Weird.
