IMO halo and RE don't come close to deserving a nomination within 4 choices, plus prepare your flameshield as there is no Zelda option.

Mario is the most influential and the most known franchise out there; but out of that bunch... I prefer the Halo franchise.

MGS.. but like its been said.. putting RE and Halo but no Zelda is pretty bad. I say MGS because every entry in the series was a hit for me, Mario had one "meh" main title.

MGS is my favorite, but a platforming fiend and an old school head will tell you that Mario dominates the rest, even though he only has 4 classics just like MGS (Mario 1, 3, 64, Galaxy).

Before the betrayal it used to be FF, now its just another multiplat with absolutely no value to me. I was left without any option to choose from now, if I had to forcefully, I'd say either starcraft or xenosaga

That's sad that you would let something so trivial as that get in the way of your enjoyment of a great series.

It's hard to go past Mario, but my personal view is that the GTA series is the best franchise of all time. Isn't San Andreas the best selling PS2 game?

final fantasy means nothing to me now, as a matter of fact i cant even stare at my old ps1 games without feeling disgusted things were so good back then, the franchise is tainted as a whole to me. Xenosaga remains entirely pure, nobody without a Ps1 or Ps2 can enjoy those games as they are exclusives.

Argh... except for the ds ports but well, that port failed and they never brought it overseas

You can't be serious. If you really loved the series, and thought that it was the greatest of all time, you would be happy that more people get to experience it.

As a matter of fact I do, over 120 million people can enjoy those games and i'd share my thoughts with them with a smile on my face

What?!?! It is a known fact that Super Mario Worldis also a classic, and many would argue that Super Mario RPG is a classic as well. Mario 2 and Sunshine, not so much.

true, however the PC is a neutral platform, I love and respect PC gaming almost just as Much as playstation gaming, the ff franchise had its best moments between FF7 and FF9. and that is not a coincidence. Sharing the main installments with another console is wrong, I'll just play valkyria chronicles and whatever Level 5 comes up with, thanks

That, plus the series didn't originate on PS1 so I don't know how it bothers the other poster so much.

I agree. I'd say Super Mario World is the best in the series followed by SMRPG.

Final Fantasy was my fav before I was hit with that combo of MGS3(fav on ps2) and MGS4(fav on ps3 so far). But it can change with FFXIII and VERSUS.

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. Yes, there's only two games in it, but those are the two best games ever.

I'm not saying Resident Evil isn't a great series or franchise, but it doesn't match up to the competition. Zelda or Metroid deserve that spot
