Favorite Gaming Series

[alienman360]

I was curious, what is your favorite gaming series? I'd have to say for me it'd have to Halo, that was the first game I ever got into. I know, now I seem like some stupid Halo fanboy who disses all other games. Halo mabye my favorite but I don't let that stop me from enjoying other gaming series like Gears Of War, Fallout, Star Wars, Mortal Kombat, AVP, Call Of Duty, Left 4 Dead, Mass Effect, Portal, Assassin's Creed, and even Garry's Mod. But from what I can tell there are alot of Star Wars fans, and that's great! Star Wars is a fantastic franchise.

Halo has always had a special place in my heart. It was the first gaming series I got into, and Halo: Combat Evolved was among the very first games I got for my original Xbox.
But It's not my favorite.

I wouldn't call Star Wars a gaming series per say. The majority are just different games set in the same universe, but not a lot of them follow an internal storyline.
The Jedi Knight/Dark Forces series was great though. I wish they would continue those, or at least adapt the Lightsaber combat system from Outcast/Jedi Academy In a new title.

I was kinda into Assassin's Creed about 2 years back I think.
Good gameplay, great story, who knew history could be so interesting?
But I haven't gotten around to Revelations yet, and I probably won't pick up III at launch.

I'd say my favorite series Is Mass Effect.
I got the first one on sale on the Xbox Marketplace since I recalled a buddy of mine said It was pretty good, and I got hooked.
Then I got the second one on sale, which was a damn good deal. I also got just about every bit of DLC for that one, all well worth It. Except maybe Firewalker, but the extra companions were great fun, and Arrival Is a must for ME story nuts.
Naturally I got 3 at launch, and It's probably the best game I've ever played. Smooth, fast paced gameplay, intense storyline, and great graphics.

Easily a 10/10..... Until Bioware fucked everything up with that goddamn piece of crap ending.
Still, I have high hopes for some news about that at PAX In a few days.

While I've had the most fun with countless other franchises, most of which have almost permanently buried their latest installments, I'd have to respond with the "Metal Gear Solid" series.
There has never been, imho, a more constructive, well written, plot driven game, from start to finish.

I liked Halo even though it just seemed to get progressively worse after the first game. Elder Scrolls is pretty fucking awesome. Far and away though my favorite had to be Mass Effect, I've just never gotten as involved with any game series as I did that. Best games ever in my opinion, the only thing that rival them being Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. And nobody better blaspheme the perfection that was Ocarina of Time.
