While innovation can often serve as a shot in the arm for many stagnant series, it can also serve as another nail in the coffin of an already over-the-hill IP. Unfortunately, it seems like, when it comes to spinoff titles, there have been more negatives than positives. Almost every major gaming franchise has an offshoot title most fans choose to ignore, and here are ten of the most notoriously awful spinoff flops of all time, as per Metacritic....

The story of The Eyes of Ara puts the player in the shoes of a technician who is dispatched to a remote castle....
