1. Zelda
2. Final Fantasy
3. Super Mario
4. God of War
5. Gran Turismo

What about you?

At first I thought, are you serious? None of those games made it into my top 20. Then, I realized, I'd wandered into the console forum. Run away...Run away!

I think that franchise would be a better phrase for what he's looking for.

[Anubis]

how can u put 1/2 of this list over Zelda?!?

because zelda 2 sucked and after that its not a series its a franchise as kbob said

[Naeeldar]

Zelda
Final Fantasy
Mario
Metal Gear Solid

[AceStallion]

[thraashman]

I'm kinda surprised by the lack of mention of Fallout as a top franchise.

My top, but not necessarily in order
The Legend of Zelda (I have a Triforce tattoo, I can't not mention it)
Fallout
The Elder Scrolls
Mass Effect (It's only 2 games so far, but I love what's been created)
Metal Gear

 

[Kabob]

If it's the top 5 overall by popularity, I would guess:

1. Mario
2. Zelda
3. Pokemon
4. Halo
5. Final Fantasy

If it's my favorite 5...err...6 would be:

1. Diablo
2. Call of Duty (IW games only, which are gone for good ).
3. Tekken
4. Mario (including the Karts and SMRPG)
5. Metroid (tied w/Zelda)
6. Zelda (tied w/Metroid)

[richierich1212]

Mortal Kombat

Can't believe I forgot to put that, edited. Now that I think about it I forgot Samurai Showdown as well.

 

[mchammer187]

Street Fighter
Metroid
Starcraft
Warcraft
Diablo

 

[fatpat268]

2D Mario Platformers
Monkey Island
Metroid
Mass Effect
Metal Gear Solid


Monkey Island and Mass Effects are newcomers for me, as I've been only recently introduced to them. Metal Gear Solid, in the past, would've at the top of my list, but I absolutely hated the direction they took with MGS3. MGS4 was better, but it had an even more convoluted storyline than MGS2, it was dull and FULL of cutscenes, and it had the same overly complex controls of MGS3. MGS1 still ranks as one of my favorite games ever, but I stopped caring about the series.

 

[Bman123]

Sonic
Mario
Call of duty
nba 2k
madden

Those are my favorite and really the only things that I play lol

Mass Effect (Mass Effect 2)

I know that's six, rules are for people who follow rules.

 

[Chaotic42]

For consoles:

Final Fantasy (6, 5, 4, and then 7)
