I’ve spent the last few weeks on this, really looking at everything in these franchises. I’ve looked at what makes these franchises, and why I think they’re the best.

I’m going to make this as non-bias as possible, ranging from a variety of genres as possible.

Here are my top 10 videogame franchises of all time. Please note that this list is 100% my opinion and should be read us such.

10. Assassin’s Creed Franchise.

9. Call of Duty Franchise.

8. Mario Franchise.

7. Pokemon Franchise.

6. Jak & Daxter Franchise.

5. Halo Franchise.

4. Fallout Franchise.

3. Grand Theft Auto Franchise.

2. Mass Effect & Metal Gear/Solid Franchise.

1. The Elder Scrolls Franchise.

Trust me, this was -really- hard to choose… incredibly difficult.

I’ve changed the list at least 20 times. At least 40 different franchises, but this is the list that I myself have come up with.







  • CrazySouthernBoy

    Lol this is more like the Top 11 Videogames. But I like the list.

  • Nathanial Keck

    TES is a really good series, but most people have only played Oblivion.

    • Chelsii Wilks

      I’ve played all The Elder Scrolls games.

      • Nathanial Keck

        Including Redguard?! If so that’s pretty awesome. I’ve only played Oblivion and Morrowind, and briefly tried Daggerfall.

        • Chelsii Wilks

          The Elder Scrolls: Arena
          The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall
          An Elder Scrolls Legend: Battlespire
          The Elder Scrolls Adventures: Redguard The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
          The Elder Scrolls III: Tribunal
          The Elder Scrolls III: Bloodmoon
          The Elder Scrolls Travels: Stormhold
          The Elder Scrolls Travels: Dawnstar
          The Elder Scrolls Travels: Shadowkey
          The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

          Basically… all of them. ._.

          • Nathanial Keck

            That’s awesome. Which one of them would you recommend to someone like me, who has only played the latest 2?

    • Chelsii Wilks

      Crazy, you just suck…

      Anyone who hasn’t played Mass Effect, sucks

      • CrazySouthernBoy

        Lol Yeah I told you before its not my type of game.

        • Chelsii Wilks

          You’ve never even tried it or seen a video of it.

          • CrazySouthernBoy

            Lol you sent me like 3 or 4 links on MSN the other night.

  • CrazySouthernBoy

    Call of Duty Franchise
    Fallout Franchise
    Grand Theft Auto Franchise
    Metal Gear/Solid Franchise.

    Are just about the the only ones I play.

  • Ssseth

    I’m having list rage.

    That is all, carry on.

    • Chelsii Wilks

      You clearly have never played these games then.

  • Chelsii Wilks

    I’ve played all of the Fallout games, even tactics and that shitty Brotherhood of Steel.

    Hell I even played ‘Wasteland’ which is where the idea for Fallout came from.

    When I love a series… I will play ALL their games.

    • CrazySouthernBoy

      Im glad to play what ever games That I listed.

    Why are they the best? Not that I’m disagreeing with your choices, I just think it would have made a better article if you gave a little reasoning for each selection.

    COD 9 seems weak with the amount of sales and talk it generates.
    No Final Fantasy, Splinter Cell, Crash Bandicoot, Killzone, Smash Brothers, Zelda, or Madden?……

    • Nathanial Keck

      Now that you say it, I think FF, SSB, and Zelda series could totally make the list. Not so much Crash Bandicoot, even though it was one of my favorite childhood games, or Splinter Cell. I can’t see Killzone or any sports games up there either.

    • Chelsii Wilks

      Like I’ve said.. I’ve changed the list multiple times.

      Games like Madden certainly are nowhere near. If I listed reasons for each selection… I’d still be writing the article.

    • Chelsii Wilks

      It’s what about makes a franchise that good, not mindless garbage and the same MP over and over again.

      Every game on that list is better than Call of Duty. I just had to give it some credibility.

  • CrazySouthernBoy

    Yeah Splinter Cell was the shit till they mad the new one for the Shitbox.

    I have a cool off-shoot of this article going live tomorrow @ 6pm est. Be sure to look for it!

  • Chelsii Wilks

    Nathaniel, all of them… I recommend.

    All. Of. Them.

      Well, which one should I play next? :P btw you spelled my name wrong.

      • CrazySouthernBoy

        I only recommend a few of them..

        • Chelsii Wilks

          You don’t even like them…. Shh.

          Nathanial*

          Well, play Arena then to feel like a real TES Player. lol
