Favorite three "current" game series

[Daltone]

Wow, this is actually quite hard. I'm probably going to post this then want to change my list, but offhand I'm going to go with (In no real order)...



Civ. Because Civ has sucked up more hours of my life than I care to count. I didn't find Civ III nearly as addictive as the second installment, but 4 is shaping up nicely from the looks of things.

Doom. Because shooting people in the face is always fun.

Mario. While I'm not the biggest fan of Sunshine all of the other games have a pick up and play appeal that's good for 10 minuites or a couple of hours.




Honourable Mentions -

Knights Of The Old Republic. Both good games, problem is that there are only two of them.

Max Payne. As above.

Broken Sword. I thought that the 3D incarnation lacked the character of the 2D versions. The animations weren't varied enough, voice acting was damn good though.

SI's "Manager" series. All have had waaaaay too much time put into them, despite being little more than glorified spreadsheets. Love it.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater. Loved them up untill 3. Bought 4 and felt it was a bit of a chore, then got bored.

Hitman. We really need a proper 3rd game. The only thing more fun than shooting people in the face is dressing up then shooting people in the face. Or poisioning them. Or Garotting them. Or whatever.

Zelda. Not gotten around to Wind Waker yet so can't really comment.

And probably about a billion others.

1. Final Fantasy
2. Resident Evil
3. Phantasy Star

Tough to not have Zelda and Mario in the list, but that's the way it goes.

1) Headhunter
2) ???
3) ???

I'm not really much of one for series. I loved Headhunter and immediately picked up Headhunter Redemption and have so far loved it. Beyond that, I tried writing down some other ones but kept eliminating them. I don't play many 'series' titles. Of the others that I have:

Sonic got booted because as crazy as some of you will think this is, I have only liked his 3D stuff. And so far, I haven't liked Sonic Heroes at all.

Mario got booted for the opposite reason. I loved his 2D stuff, but didn't care for Mario 64 or Sunshine.

Beyond those, I can't even think of a series of games that I have picked up more than a title for beyond Lord of the Rings, and that should be a technicality because I want to get rid of Return of the King.

I guess I'm just not a very big 'series' player.

1) Headhunter

Headhunter has three games?! Think I've missed something here. Really liked the first two in a B-Movie action sort of way.
