Top 3 Gaming Series of all Time

So any 3 series, I would have to go with...

Halo - FPS

C&C - RTS

Final Fantasy - RPG

FTW!

Sorry to say this Will, but Halo is not an amazing fps, and i'm not just saying that because i'm a keyboard and mouse elitest. Halo is a good game don't get me wrong. but it's not even in the same league as Half Life, or more recently CoD4. those games seem to have more depth in both single player and there online counter parts (well halo is better online than HL deathmatch).

As far as series' go, my list would look more like this:

FPS - Half Life

RTS - C&C

Platformer - Jak and Daxter

(MMO)RPG - World of Warcraft (I don't really get offline RPGs)

Don't get me wrong I love half life, its a very close second. You really shouldn't be so surprised this coming from a guy with a giant cardboard cut out of master chief in his bedroom. Is Jak and Daxter really worthy of greatest series of all time?

jak and daxter is a really good game. I went home for the weekend a while ago and busted out my old ps2! (yeah i know its now refered to as the "old ps2" now) managed to blast through jak and daxter in about 3 days with 100%, really fun game.

Ok well mine go like this

I like a lot of fps's but il have to go with

FPS - Half life series

RTS - AOE, company of heroes (don't play too much rts anymore)

RPG - defo final fantasy, failing that, WoW

Racing - Mario Kart

Fighting - Smash bros (yeah and I love DOA too but whatevs)



lol thought I would add some more categories

fps: halo/ut series
rts: c&c
fighting: tekken series
racing: grandturismo was sick, but just got grid for 360 and its pretty mint too
platform: dont play them really
rpg: final fantasy series

Are we going with one for each genre or just three?

Top Three series:
Call of Duty (excluding CoD3)
Hitman
KotOR

...It's hard not just listing millions. And I purposefully went for stuff with at least one sequel, otherwise I would've listed many others.

Can we get another thread for just Top three games in each genre of all time or something? Then have the admin do some slight number crunching and see which games come out top...

Sounds good, I just start the new topic. perhaps a poll for best genre at tbe end?

Street Fighter 2, Tetris, Puyo Puyo.

RPG - Final Fantasy
Fighting - Street Fighter (does that include marvel vs capcom i'd say it does in a way)
Platformer - Tomb Raider
Racing - Star Wars Podracer/ Racer Revenge (especially on the arcade game on a ferry)
FPS - Wolfenstein/Goldeneye (just can't decide)
Point and Click - Discworld
Sports - Fifa
Extreme Sports - Thrasher skate and destroy, prequal to Skate
Music Based - Music 2000
Managerial - Football Manager
Flight Sim - Colony Wars/ Star Wars Rogue Squadron
Simulation - Sim City
TBS - Civilization
RTS - Warcraft

Just thought I'd add a few more catogories ala Tom P

Top three from them for me are;
1. Final Fantasy
2. Football Manager
3. Warcraft
Chosen from time spent on them mainly

Touhou
Metal Slug
