Game series

Just out of interest what are you fave game series?

For some reason I don't see as myuch in a lot of major game series as most people do, for example, I hate FF games, and as much as I liked the Half Life games once, I don't see much replayability in them. I think the Halo series is overrated, but I immensly enjoyed Gears of War, and can't wait for number 2. I also preferred GTA3 to VC and SA, and I think in SA there was TOO MUCH to do, and it got pointless.

The Zelda series has never interested me, but I love the Elder Scrolls, and the COD series is fantastic, apart from 3.

Games that I do love include Max Payne, Silent Hill (except 4), Resident Evil etc.

On a final note I thought Crysis was one of the biggest letdowns of the year. I played it for around 30 mins on all High settings at a decent res (with a stable FPS) and got bored and turned it off. I honestly think that COD4 looks better in comparison.

But thats just me, so tell me, what is your favourite game series.

wth does crysis have to do with game series and what does zelda have to do with pc gaming?

my fave is half life btw

Is replayability really a critical issue? Some of my all-time favourite games I've only ever placed once or twice - and yet I happily consider them amongst the best games ever made.

Call of Duty 4 looks nowhere near as good as Crysis. That's not an opinion. It's also pretty absurd to judge a game by its first thirty minutes, especially when those thirty minutes are practically a tutorial. The real good stuff starts, interestingly, at thirty one minutes into the game.

Even when I switched to low settings the background was horribly pop-up, and even on all high there were many textures missing for me. Its not happened to any other game I have ever played, including COD4, the Club, Bioshock etc. Might be just my system, I know its a hog, but I shouldnt be having these issues on all low.

Max Payne

Splinter Cell

Ghost Recon

Rainbow Six

Call of Duty

Medal of Honor

Half Life

Those are just a few.

For me, a 'series' has to have more than two games in it to qualify.

So as much as I like the NOLF games, I can't include them. Unless I count Contract J.A.C.K. Hmm...yes I think I will, so...

Half Life series
Jedi Knight series
NOLF series
Thief series
Elder Scrolls series
Neverwinter Nights series (I'm counting the expansions and premium modules)
Age Of Empires series
Quake series
Fallout series
Rainbow Six series
SWAT series
Eye Of The Beholder series
Gothic series
Wolfenstein series
