GAF votes: The best video game franchise

It's hard for me to decide upon a criteria for what I consider my favorite series. Should it be one that I like the most games in? I'm just going with the ones that have given me the most enjoyment over the years, even if it's primarily due to a single game in the series (Tecmo Super Bowl NES, Phantasy Star Online).

1) Everybody's Golf
2) Tecmo Bowl
3) Phantasy Star
 
1. Legend of Zelda
2. Metal Gear
3. Team ICO's games

#3 was tough. Super Mario, Jak & Daxter, God of War, Uncharted, and the Age of ______ series all came really close, but I'm playing through Ico right now and I'm loving it! :D

1) Zelda
2) Gears of War (I don't care if only 1 of them has come out yet, I have never played a game more and been so addicted to it, Gears 2 is sure to be the same)
3) Jak and Daxter

Lots of other good choices already mentioned, too. I was very tempted to throw in Street Fighter or Half Life, but it's hard to top Nintendo's big 3 in terms of longevity and consistent quality, IMO.

Baldur's Gate would also be a personal favorite, but I don't even know if it qualifies as much of a franchise.[/b] I'm still praying for a BG III.

So you voted Zelda/Mario/Metroid? :lol:

=(

1. Zelda
2. Mario (platformers)
3. Hmm, tough one but I am leaning towards Metroid.

These are franchises that have last over 20 years and starred on both consoles as well as handhelds throughout generation upon generation and are all excellent. And, most (if not all) of these games still hold up excellent even to this day, no matter what the platform.

Metroid
Resident Evil

I wish I could say Snatcher instead of Metal Gear, but it would've had have more games for that to happen :mad:
 

Windu

never heard about the cat, apparently
1.) Super Mario Bros.
2.) Metroid
3.) Legend of Zelda


I like Nintendo....
 

Oblivion

Fetishing muscular manly men in skintight hosery
1. Mario
2. Zelda
3. Uh...Smash Bros. I guess.

Yeah, I know, very original choices.
 
This is absolutely retarded.

How the fuck can you say "METAL GEAR IS BETTER THAN MARIO" or "SMASH BROS IS WAY BETTER THAN GRAN TURISMO!!"? They're in different fucking genres. :lol

And yeah, Metal Gear, Mario, Zelda, and Final Fantasy will probably be the top four.

Again, this is absolutely retarded.

Have fun with the inevitable fanboy flamewar, guys!

Hmmm I can't believe I Resident Evil, Metal Gear, and Mario series didn't make my top 3. Goes to show you there's a ton of games that are real good. We should have more choices.:D

edit: I can't believe I forgot the Command and Conquer series too.
