"room for one more?"

Truth be told I'd never really ventured outside the familiar threads of the League 2 forum, so naturally I hadn't seen this thread either.

I didn't sent a list but the correct answer is the Metal Gear series.

 

[Smudge]

Okay, here we go then!
There were 95 series voted for overall, so Ill just put them in as lists with however many number of points until the top 25 where they will start getting more of a writeup. In the case of a tie on points, the game that featured on the most lists will be placed higher of the two.

Okay, so we start with the lonely two games that finished with 1 point, finishing bottom of two lists each.

Ninja Gaiden
Battlefield

 

[Smudge]

Little more before I go to bed! Three games scoring two points and appearing on single lists...

Animal Crossing
Phoenix Wright
Rocket Knight Adventures

...and two appearing on three lists scoring three points...

Dawn of War
Dynasty Warriors

 

[Smudge]

Up next, 4 points (1 list each)

Guitar Hero
Parasite Eve
Saints Row
The Sims
Wario Land

 

[Oaf]

Whoa, Battlefield gets a lot of hate but I thought it'd do better than that...

 

[Smudge]

Ill give you two more since Im on a night shift tonight!

5 points on 2 lists is...

Burnout

Followed by 5 points on 1 list...

Far Cry
Warioware

And finally on 6 points, all on 1 list...

God of War
Paper Mario
Ratchet & Clank
Red Dead

 

[Megaclyde]

2 of mine gone already...
Also suprised God Of War went so early

 

[daviejones]

Ratchet and Clank gone, thought that would've been a bit higher as it is a classic.

 

[Smudge]

Next up, on 7 points and all on 1 list each...

Bullfrog 'Theme' games
Infamous
Mario Tennis
Total War

 

[Cas]

Ninja Gaiden, Parasite Eve and InFAMOUS gone from my list so far.

 

[Oaf]

The Bullfrog "theme" games was mine. Wasn't really sure what to call them Theme Park/Park World/Hospital. Fucking brilliant back when they came out, loved them as a kid and still fun to play to this day.

 

[JaseTheVillain]

I forgot to submit a list.

 

[Smudge]

On 8 points we have...

No-one else voted for Jak and Daxter? You lot disgust me.

[Smudge]

Into double figures. On 10 points...

Tekken (2 lists)
WWE (2 lists)
Dizzy
Mario Party
WWF Smackdown

 

[Oaf]

WWE only made two lists?

Hang on, shouldn't WWE and WWF Smackdown be the same thing? I mean, they're the same series really... just WWE's yearly game.

Also, fucking great shout on Dizzy.

 

[daviejones]

WWE was on mine. I recently finished WWE 2015 and it is still as entertaining as ever.

Dizzy was mine, still playable today even with the limited capabilities of the Speccy. First game I truly loved.
