MAX PAYNE, god I love those 2 little games. Where's my Max Payne 3 Remedy??? Who wants Alan Wake...

also: Wave Race, GTA and Onimusha.

 

[DieNgamers]

Zelda and Metroid.
I love Prince of Persia series as well.

 

[DefectiveReject]

Zelda.
Probably because of the history behind it (growing up with the series for 20+yrs)

Would of been Mario, but whereas Zelda gets stronger, Mario seems to have stalled.

Final Fantasy- Must plays.

 

[Kevtones]

Why won't they make a sequel to Saga?

[Roders5]

Have to go with Zelda, Metroid and Mario Platformers. These are the only games I buy on day one, the rest I get on the cheap.

 

[Dr_Cogent]

Splinter Cell

 

[Solo]

Metal Gear Solid. Fuck the rest.

 

[Excelion]

Since BG3 and Fallout3 were cancelled, i lost my gamer heart (we all know Atari's BG3 will suck and Bethesda couldn't write a good line of dialog if their life depended on it). I'm now focused on my crusade against MGS, Nintendo and Sony. Recent series i really loved are PoP and Halo - Total Annihilation and The Longest Journey will soon become "series "too. I also have some hope in the recent rumors about a Little Big Adventure 3 project and a BG&E sequel.

 

[DeadlyMelody]

Metal Gear Solid and Metroid. Both series' will always have me by the balls.

 

[yilmazz]

GTA and Zelda.

Phoenix Wright/Turnabout Courtroom
Ys

Castlevania (though its stagnation too is wearing on me)
Gradius
Contra
Metal Gear
Wing Commander (Yay! Dead series!)
Sam & Max (It'll be a series. Sure. One day. Probably the same day there's a North American Mother 3 and Duke Nukem Forever)
Doom
2D Street Fighter
Final Fantasy (excepting maybe XI)

 

[Johnas]

Fucking METROID for sure.

This is unrivalled:

My favorite series as well.

 

[AzureRonin]

Zelda
Elder Scrolls
Boktai (yeah it's weird but I really like the series)

 

[bob_arctor]

Fucking METROID for sure.

By far my favorite series of all-time. Only Zelda comes close and of course, Mario. Honorable mentions: Street Fighter, Castlevania, 2D shmups.

 

[HCgamer]

2d Castlevania
Metroid
Zelda

 

[F.Be@PSG]

Mario. Everything with Mario.

 

[Gantz]

Castlevania(2D incarnations) and Front Mission games always give me a hardon.

 

[cartman414]

Couldn't miss out on this (long dormant) thread:

Mario (be it in platformer, kart, or RPG form, barely any other franchise has more to offer for me, even if, for instance, SMB is comparatively basic, SMW too easy and less packed with variety than its predecessor, or all kart games between SMK and MK DS feature lacking AI)
Zelda (mainly for the 2d games; the 3d games have had 2 great ones so far but don't match their 2d counterparts)
Mega Man (spotty yes, but the good ones are often great)
Castlevania (more of a Dracula X: Rondo of Blood kind of guy here)
Metal Gear Solid
Half-Life
Baldur's Gate (the main RPGs)
Klonoa
Gradius/Life Force
Contra (at least old school Contra)
Final Fantasy (didn't love all of them, but 6 is enough for a lifetime pass)
Dragon Quest (defiantly old-school, but it's old school done very well, with plenty of skills available per player at any given time; just needs less grinding)
Valkyrie Profile (a safe bet)
Tales of ______

The main Pokemon series (e.g. not Colosseum/XD) and nothing else. Even at its absolute lowest point, AKA Gold/Silver/Ruby/Sapphire (not Crystal, and definitely not Emerald), it's still better than every Zelda game not named A Link to the Past, every Final Fantasy game other than FF6, and so on.

The absolute closest runners-up just had disqualifying faults:
Advance Wars had Advance Wars 1, Fire Emblem had Sacred Stones (a B+ game isn't enough to "make me swoon"), DDR relies too heavily on songlists, early Dragon Quest games were in the B- range, 2D Castlevania sucked on the original Game Boy, Seiken Densetsu had Legend of Mana and Sword of Mana, Zelda had Zelda II (and the CD-i games, but let's not discuss those)

Disagreed here, big time. Zelda II = inventive and challenging action-RPG with a rock solid combat system and equally novel enemy encounter system. Much more playable for me than the Pokemon RPGs IMO, which as solo games, are grindfests. Not to mention the antiquated RPG battle/encounter system(s) it employs. While they've implemented deeper stat growth systems, I don't find that to be quite enough.

 

[Tarazet]

Mario RPGs. The platformers, not so much. Why? I don't know.

What's with threads being bumped from last June today?

 

[CajoleJuice]

Umm, since this was bumped again, I'm going to have to say Mario is the one. I don't remember what my first reply was, but NSMB made me get DS Lite and Super Mario Galaxy is going to make me buy a Wii. And SMB was the first video game I ever played, so yea. I love Mario.

 

[MickeyKnox]

Metal Gear Solid.
Ace Combat.
Monster hunter.

 

[Chris Michael]

Zelda. I don't talk about it much here but Zelda is my absolute favorite game series. No game has ever pulled me in like Zelda does, and I think the formula is near-perfect as it is. That's why I'm extremely dissapointed with Zelda PH...

Castlevania (especially when Ayami does the art...)

That's pretty much it... unless you count Yoshi's Island (possibly my 2nd favorite game of all time).

edit: Metroid. Forgot Metroid. Amazing, amazing series (including Prime games, - Hunters)

 

[Snaku]

Metal Gear Solid
Castlevania
Max Payne (Noir makes me wet)
Resident Evil
The Legend of Zelda
Metroid
Final Fantasy
Halo

 

[cartman414]

Mario RPGs. The platformers, not so much. Why? I don't know.

What's with threads being bumped from last June today?

Dunno about that. Though this thread wasn't that old. If bumping old threads is uncool here, I won't do it again.

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

Final Fantasy & Metal Gear were the first two to pop in my head
