Strictly game series that have begun in the last 10 years? Or also ones that have just had iterations in the last 10 years. If the former, Stalker and Bioshock. if the latter, Half-Life.

Series that isn't fully out dated I guess.
GTA IV - Few games can match the level of detail in that game. It is close to a masterpiece. biggest_loser
Super awesome game. And the PC version looks so much better than the consoles. I just wish it were better optimized, and that the latest patch didn't completely break it.
If we're talking about something that offered not only enjoyment but a considerable amount of gameplay and content, WoW for MMO, GTA for TPS, Witcher for RPG, Trackmania for racing, Killing Floor for FPS (TF 2 is close, but only the time I played is close, idle time is way over and that makes it not even a 2nd choice), Starcraft for RTS, Heroes of Might and Magic for TBS, Diablo for its kind of RPG, Dungeon Defenders for tower defense/RPG and Assassin's Creed for adventure.
If we're talking about pure quality and enjoyment, there is only one change to my list, FPS, this year's Syndicate took KF's place and then some, it's an outstanding, exciting and unique game (people think CoD is the zenith of intense and exciting gameplay? - even if mindless - they never tried Syndicate, it's at least 4 times better at what CoD does best).
The Witcher series and Dead Space come to mind. It's hard to like the entire series of a game, because usually the sequel never lives up to the original.Elann2008That's not really the case with me. We're both obviously DS fans, so I'll mention that DS2 was in every way superior to the first. I hope you agree. :P

What I meant to say was, it's hard to find an entire series consistently awesome, and Dead Space series is one of those. DS2 was superior than DS1. I liked it a lot. Can't wait for DS3.

Yeah, niether can I. You may be interested to know this but I met a gaming jounalist in my local store (he's also a friend) who said DS3 is actually in the making and is currently being scripted, but they don't want to release it until the next movie comes out. Still, good to know that it's being made. :D

Do you know if the next movie is a prequel to the original movie, a retelling of the game's story, or something entirely different? I'm going to look for some info on it right now.. EDIT: Oh snap, the second movie has been out for some time. And y'all may be interested to know that EA is supposedly planning to make several additional Dead Space games besides Dead Space 3, including a FPS, a flight game, and an adventure title.. Things are indeed looking good in the Dead Space universe :)

Favourite individual game? Mafia
Favourite series? Witcher/Stalker (maybe Mass Effect depending on how good the third game is)
it's difficult to see past the gta games as far as best series goes, although it would have to best of the last 11 years to include gta 3, in terms of my favourite series it's up there with the half life 2, crysis, stalker and first three splinter cell games.
as far as best game goes its a tie between the best of each series - crysis1, soc, hl2, gta vice city and chaos theory
Over the past 10 years..DoW I + it's expansions...Forget DoW II
Anything before that...The Mechwarrior Series.
