The release of Resident Evil 6 raises the question of whether we can reasonably expect any sequels that include the number six.
This is a question I asked the good people on Twitter.
Hey, Twitter, tell me about sequels that ended in 6 (I'll accept VI) that didn't suck. Super Bowls and classical music are eligible.

The good people replied, sometimes usefully. Sometimes not.

@stephentotilo Might and Magic VI was pretty good (though VII was better).
