the only one is possibly tekken – i love street fighter too – but tekken is still a good fighting game in its own right – the way it implements REAL fighting styles and moves into a game is second to none – tho yes street fighter is miles beter

It's been producing essentially the same game for over a decade, sure they have little add-ons here and there and generally speaking they have new shit that should have been on the previous games anyway, but overall they constantly pump out the same game only with better graphics and a different Roman numeral at the end, I like the civilization series, but I can't honestly say I've ever been excited about a new Civilization game coming out because I always know what it's going to be....yet that series is immensely popular despite an almost complete lack of innovation...THAT, to me, seems overrated.

Or any legend of Zelda pre-2009 ? so the snowboarding game "stoked" that was released last year is better than anything pre-2009? That statement pretty much invalidated your whole "argument" Plus, its pretty obvious that you're some stupid twelve year old kid who doesnt know anything about gaming. Go back to your guitar hero. nice username btw, im guessing youre a fan of raywilliamjohnson on youtube,especially since only twelve year olds find that guy funny. @doinyourmom

God of War: I played nothing from this series but I sure would like to, mainly to know if I would enjoy it like my pals would or enjoy it less, or even hate it 9. Guitar Hero: This game, just the idea of it reeks 8. Tekken: Awesome fighting series, 1 is miserable, 2 is decent, 3 and after are awesome. I play the side games more than the fighting game, and the fighting game still does pretty well rocks I played many fighting games, I love MK, KoF, SF & GG series, it doesn't surpass any of these in fun, it is mainly equal 7. Halo: First person shooter = CRAAAP 6. Sonic: Sonic 1 is great, Sonic 2 improved plenty of things like being able to spin down and choose a different character in the option menu. "Sonic 3 & Knuckles" is a work of genius, it made better score than two, greater variation of bubbles, tricks with bubbles, 3 characters to choose from, double jump tricks, mid stage bosses. I really love Sonic, I prefer him to Marion a lot, but I have to agree that this series worn out after 3 & Knuckles, and Mario series are really inovative and fun 5. Half Life: Again; First Person Shooter = SHIT, especially DOOM 4. Ghosts N’ Goblins: WTF? 3. Resident Evil: AWESOME, great characters, great variety of weapons, great moves. 2 is the beginning of greatness for this series and four reinvented awesomeness, 5 is quite weak though, I have to admit is as a huge RE geek myself 2. Grand Theft Auto: I wonder how this series keep repeating itself too much and it get praised too much, while every time a free roaming Spider-Man game gets better than its predecessor is insulted by many critics because they are too repetitive. Major WTF on this one 1. Pokemon: I enjoy the first 4; Blue, Red, Green & Yellow, but after those this series just sucked 10.

Halo is epic...not as epic as final fantasy series, metal gear series, resident evil 4, modern warfare series, kingdom hearts series, and uncharted 2.
