IGN's Top 25 gaming franchises...

While back IGN's "100 greatest games" list caused a stir, so I thought this might be fun to keep track of this week.

If this deserves closing, then so be it. lol

huh..wah??

Virtua Fighter actually sucks.

I have a feeling the top 4 will be Halo, GTA, Mario, Zelda. Possibly in that order.

Although I dont think Halo should be up that high, but you cant ignore the sales, and you know IGN wont. lol

probably also gta, not that they deserve it

Mario numba 1
Zelda numba 2
Final Fantasy numba 3

and I don't have guesses for the rest, but halo only has 2 games so it really shouldn't beat mario, zelda, or final fantasy and if it does I'm calling shenanigans

this is what wikipedia has

I'm surpraised Half Life is soo low.

Considering its one of better sellers out there and is one of the more innovating titles out there, it should beat Donkey Kong atleast.

I am the gay master I regulate and determine all things gay.

I play Console way more than PC but that’s only because PC always gets the shaft in terms of the games that come out on it. When ever everyone decides the PC is a much better medium of gaming then I'll make the permanent switch and Play Final Fantasy, Halo, and Zelda all on the same box. But until then I'll just be gay with my little wii mote, sisass, and huge alien space ship controller.

Well that is kinda like when your watching a dirty movie with 2 girls and 2 guys and the two girls step out of frame and you continue watching. Not totally gay but on your way.

And how. 😛

Y'know, Dirk, the thread could probably do without your silly elitist attitude and half-witted puns. Obviously, everyone here uses a computer.

You're right about 1 thing. You are a gay master.

Damn if I would have known the dirty video story actually happened to you I wouldn't of said it. I was just joking and hit the truth; my bad.

also just because you use a computer doesn't imply that you play computer games, and that should be obvious as well.

ESB where is the respect. It's the gay master not just a gay master.

gears of war will be there in no time 🙂
