Microsoft has announced its plans to buy Activision Blizzard, and the implications of the deal are mind-boggling. Many journalists in the industry are speculating about what this means for the industry at large, what it means for the employees at Activision Blizzard, and of course, the possible games that could be developed as a result. The usual suspects have been mentioned, such as Call of Duty, Crash Bandicoot, Guitar Hero, Tony Hawk, and Spyro. However, there are a few lesser-known franchises that aren't being talked about that deserve attention, as they could give Microsoft franchises to compete against some of Sony's biggest exclusives.
