FPS - Half Life series
TPS - Max Payne series
RTS - Homeworld series, C&C series
RPG - Elder Scrolls series, Diablo series
Action Adventure - GTA series, POP series

I voted OTHER and think teh Mass Effect universe deserves recognition. I was in awe of the history and backstory.

I seriously doubt if DMC is an RPG.. U just get better guns and different moves.. But i don see any character development or anything.. And if it is an RPG.. Then DMC is tooo short and way tooo linear to be an RPG.. I feel its just a shoot-em-up with a few puzzles..

Easily Warhammer 40K - but I think it's a little unfair to even count it. The universe has after all been in development for the last twenty years, and the universe is a significant part of the (tabletop) game, so it's naturally a more prominent feature than that seen in other universes, especially when it comes to games and films.

I think lord of the rings deserves some credit, they have some entertaining games.

The black and white games have a nice setting, its always fun being a god.

But star wars got my vote, knights of the old republic is the best rpg i have ever played, seen or will ever play.

Star Wars is more of a film universe then a games one, although it does have some great games.

Warhammer 40K isn't a video game universe. Fatshodan explained that nicely though.

Anyway, Half-Life is my favourite video game universe. It's one of the few games that got me reading about the characters, and who the alien races are etc.
It's actually a deep piece of fiction, should one look beyond the game.

Warhammer 40K would be my favourite universe overall, but Half-Life if we're strictly talking video games.

Homeworld and Command and Conquer (Tiberium/Tiberian specifically) deserve to be mentioned as well, as they're also amazing.

I am going old school, but MechWarrior.. That series was made for the PC only, They put it on console, but to me it lost it's estatic value.

Easily without a doubt the Warcarft universe. It's more epic then LOTR and all those games combined.

I agree. Mechwarrior is awesome. Mechassault is mediocre.

StarCraft has the best universe, hands down. I mean, who wants to live in a universe where there's head humpers latching onto your head, feeding off your brain and turning you into a mindless zombie? Also, I would NOT want to be enslaved by the Combine, I mean, they are pretty ugly without their uniforms! I want to wear the Marine/Firebat uniform in StarCraft, so awesome!

i chose othe because the second spore comes out, it will be my universe!! haha, well to be honest i think that spore will be my fav, cause of all the customization. but to be honest they all are diferent.... depends on my mood really, if im in a mood for action, mystery, a slowly building and satisfying game or story. bla bla

I voted other. I'd say:

Rpg: The Witcher, Torment, NWN1 and Elder Scrolls. And KotoR is really darn good too, but I didn't want to vote for that because it's not my favorite.

Racing: I'd have to say Trackmania and Dirt/Grid.

MMO: I'm going to get flamed for this, but I've been playing Perfect World lately and I like it a lot. I like the idea of fantasy games being completely unrealistic and fantastical. If I'm playing a fantasy game, I want to be able to do stuff like fly through the air and visit cloud dwellings. I'll also throw Requiem into the mix. I haven't played it as much, but the setting is original.

Fps: Duckhunt. :P
