Halo is low because I was basing it off of the single player campaign. Don't go screaming "fakeboy" cause I have a gamertag in my sig and prefer other games over Halo.

Gears of War
Halo

I absolutly love Zelda, Mario and Metriod.. and metal gear series is not far behind those at all. FF, gears and halo are much lower then the rest though, but i still really like them.. I place FF above gears and halo mainly due to my love for FF 3(6), which is one of my favourite games of all time. I didn't enjoy Halo CE, but Halo 3 was alot of fun both in its SP and MP.. however i love gears gritty feel, incredibly unique feeling experience, and it's amazingly fun MP.. so i just have to place it above halo.

Fiirstly, that's not a great option to go by the series you picked out. I have no problem that you like those games, and in that order. But, Gears has only the one game... probably another game coming out eventually; but that's still only two, not really a "big franchise".

Here's my list anyway:

1. Zelda

2. Final Fantasy

3. Mario

4. Halo

...

Can't really list the other. Haven't played Gears yet, or a Metroid game besides the original and I hated the bit of MGS I played.

Not really fair though being as I've never played a full mario or metroid game BUT I know FF would be last as I hate that series and that kind of gameplay

Gears of War isn't a franchise, but I would rank them:

1) Metroid, 2) Final Fantasy, 3) Zelda, 4) Mario, 5) Halo, 6) Metal Gear Solid

Hypothetically, if Gears makes an equally good games in the future, I would probably place it around Mario on my list.

Final Fantasy is the king of this list, but the real king is Ratchet and Clank.

*** I realize placing Halo at #6 makes me a terrible excuse for a lemming but honestly Halo 3 was the first game I played in the franchise :? Apologies in advance to all the Halo'ites.

Though Gears of War technically isn't a franchise yet, not at least until the second game is released.

1. Metal Gear Solid(by a very large margin)

2. Mario

3. Gears of War(How is this even considered a franchise when there is only one game out for it? but I would prefer this over the next 3) and Final Fantasy

4. Zelda

5. Halo

6. Metroid(since I havent played any of them I am reluctant to even rank them...but the gameplay looks horrible)

These are my ranking for these franchises. From this only Metal Gear Solid I would classify as one of the best game franchises.

[QUOTE="stika"]none of the above fall in to "the franchises that get me hyped category" Mystery_Writer

what floats your boat then? pokemons :P ? (j/k)

right now i´m hyped for

Hellgate London

Starcraft 2

Castlevania dracula X chronicles

Starwars Battlefront: Renegade squadron

and thats it,

the main reason is that i dont own a wii not a 360 if i did then i might like metroid, halo, Gears and Zelda, but those franchises haven´t got me hyped in a long time

when you decide how good a franchise is, you should have atleast 2 games to judge the franchise.

Personally, I still wouldn't consider that a franchise. That's just a critically acclaimed game getting a sequel. Once it hits three games, I think it can start to use the franchise card--mostly because I'd allow Halo to use it after the third game and the success it has had, it is definitely a franchise.

First off, Gears doesn't deserve to be in the list, not yet anyway. There's only been one release.

Here's my list:
1. Mario
2. Metal Gear
3. Zelda
4. Metroid
5. Halo
6. Final Fantasy

There series not Franchises, a franchise is where someone pays somebody else to use their name. e.g. MacDonalds
