Best Video Game Series of This Console Generation

Rule 1: The Series had to start on this Generation of consoles which means it's first game had to release on the PS3/360/Wii in or after 2005. No continuation series on my list like Call of Duty which started on the PC back in 2003

Rule 2 needs at least 2 Games. One game does NOT make it a series.

Here We Go

1. Uncharted
2. Assassins Creed
3. Demon/Dark Souls
4. Super Mario Galaxy
5. Mass Effect
6. Gears of War

The breakdown

1. Uncharted, Nothing Beats the Uncharted series. Graphics, Gameplay, Story, control. Uncharted is This Console Gen's best series.

2. Assassins Creed, simply the next best thing to Uncharted that there is but not a clone but a whole different game style in it's own right.

3. Demon/Dark Souls, brought the pain back to the RPG format. A welcome needed injection of Hardcore console gaming in a Generation that caters to casuals.

4. Super Mario Galaxy, buh buh buh Mario started on the Nintendo, No this is not Super Paper Mario Wii this is SMG and it was a totally new series to make use of the special powers of the Wii to it fullest and normally I and a lot of other gamers just Denounce the Wii in these top # list SMG is a great series and i'm looking forward to SMG3

5. Mass Effect, Sorry but the innovation and shear gameplay of SMG was enough to beat Mass Effect IMHO. Mass Effect was another brilliant hybrid game that brought a new genre to consoles but later on it seemed to be just Dragon Age mixed with Gears but still great enough to entertain for 3 games and easily.makes the top 5. Some may want it higher which is cool but i still feel 5 is a good spot.

6. Gears of War, solid third person shooter that improved with ever game.

bubblebeam4712d ago

Agreed mostly, but I think the gameplay in Gears is universally accepted as the best for a 3rd person shooter, well, at least the responsiveness and general feel.

Assassins creed is awesome (havn't playede Revelations). I got the first in 2008 and was weary. I thought it was some uncharted clone. But it suprised me and was very cool.

Uncharted is the best series this gen IMO. Naughty Dog always find a way to step up their already fantastic franchises. I'm buying into next gen day 1 just to see what crazy games they make next ( hopefully they can still do uncarted and more last of us).

Mykky4709d ago

I don't own a 360 so I will not add any 360 exclusives to my list.

1.Mass Effect
- Intelligent, you decide what will happen, possibilities, massive universe, Epic conclusion (At least I think so at least with the extended cut in mind), you care for the characters, anyone can die if you mess up and there is no cliche immortal main protagonist stuff.

2. Uncharted

3. Assassin's Creed

4. Portal

5. Batman

6. Super Mario Galaxy

Awesome_Gamer4712d ago

Uncharted is the best game franchise this gen IMO

stonecold34712d ago

rufusman914712d ago

HOW THE FUCK CAN PEOPLE MAKE A LIST LIKE THIS WHEN DOZENS OF GAMES HAVE LET TO BE RELEASED?

CanadianTurtle4712d ago (Edited 4712d ago )

Personally my favourite game series this generation is the Resistance series. It's not the best, but its the best for me.

I love the alien invasion type feeling that I got while playing it, the awesome weapons, terrifying looking monsters, atmosphere, and best of all "fun and unique gameplay that actually differentiated itself from the generic FPS crowd.

JBSleek4712d ago

This is tough I think you need to separate it by platform or publishers.

PS3: Uncharted
Xbox: Halo/Gears
Wii: Mario Galaxy
Third Party: Mass Effect/Assassin Creed
Sleeper: Resistance
Biggest Surprise: Flow, Flower, Journey

More hyped for CoD 2026.
IW's at helm. Supposedly doing an engine evolution similar to MW'19. Evident by the current-gen only rumors.

Deathtracker37d ago

Me too. I'd also love to see the DMZ 2.0 rumors come true that year.

Goodguy0135d ago

Which were the worst black ops campaigns lol. And Bo4 had none...

Father__Merrin35d ago

I uninstalled cod24 the campaign was just cobbled together that dream state you go in and then there's that boss that throws gunk at you. How can you have boss fight in a cod

OG Destiny artist recalls Bungie’s “disgruntled” reaction to Halo 4’s art style change

Original Destiny artist Darren Bacon recalls how Bungie reacted to the art style change of Halo 4 by 343 Industries.

Bungie at that time became the most wonderful bunch of hypocrites in the gaming industry. Knowing this now, gosh the entitlement they felt was out of this world.

Nothing like buying yourself from Microsoft because you don't want to be the Halo Studio anymore, and the FIRST THING you do is sign your next IP over to Activision, for a DECADE, while they are in the middle of ousting the heads of Infinity Ward so they can exert even more control over COD while screwing out the devs at IW...

Should've come as no surprise then that Activision gutted the content of Destiny 1 before launch and was a horrible partner through Destiny 2, until history repeated itself and Bungie had to split from Activision only to wind up in the arms of another major conglomerate that also doesn't know how to handle these unmanageable devs.

Profchaos62d ago

Tti their credit they praised the technical abilities of 343 and I remember at the time thinking halo 4 was a huge graphical leap above reach everything else was rubbish when I actually got to play it but there was no doubt it looked good for the 360 and is probably the best looking game on the system.

But ultimately I think bungie has always had a leadership problem and going independent ultimately proved this it's only getting worse with studio heads being outed by Sony for abuse allegations seems like all bungies past success has been in spite of management not because of it.

But really I think the bungie we have today is not the same one we had in that Xbox era of Bungie

PhillyDonJawn62d ago

I liked the artstyle change. For the most part. Something looked worse but most of everything else looked better. Weapons and vehicles for sure. The wraith come to my mind instantly.
And how can they get mad when the bungie changed it with Halo Reach?

Sciurus_vulgaris61d ago

I know a lot of people dislike Halo 4’s arts style, but there’s thing about it I like and dislike. Personally, the Halo 4 design of Master Chief’s armour is my favourite depiction of the character’s armour.
