I went through most of those and excluded them from the list, but Borderlands, Doom and Soul Calibur are definitely worth consideration. But if I add them, I'll have to delete 3 other franchises before I get the polls running.

 

Mine's Broken Sword. You don't need to add it though cos nobody will pick it anyway.

 

I know that franchise, but I decided that it probably won't go far so it's not in the list.

 

Metal Gear Solid. No question for me.

 

Remember to vote for Snake then!

 

Shit it's hard to pick just one, over here sweating

 

 

 

Calm down bro. You don't have to choose now, just vote how you feel in the upcoming polls.

 

UPDATE: Borderlands, Doom and Soul Calibur added. Polls will be starting soon.

Since Kingdom Hearts isn't it I'm pulling for Halo

 

OK. I was very close to including Kingdom Hearts, but oh well...

 

If WWE wins it's bullshit (meaning winning the whole thing)

 

Football Manager should be on here. Digimon too.

 

We'll see. I excluded Digimon games because I don't find they've been successful enough, but remember to vote for Pokemon and Monster Hunter etc. WWE games will probably do well cause this is a wrestling forum after all.

 

Why do FIFA and WWE start off against each other in the first round? That's a potential semifinal matchup in a forum like this one.

 

I randomly generated the pairs by giving every franchise a number and then using a random number generator. So it's purely random.

So how'd you chose the games? Nice thread by the way.

 

Thanks. I chose the franchises by first looking at my own pretty large game collection which features many franchises. Then I went to Wikipedia's "List of video game franchises" which covers hundreds of franchises. Some big ones like The Witcher, Street Fighter and Diablo were missing from there too, though, so I added them as soon as I noticed they were missing. Then I just narrowed my big list down to a hundred and two game series featuring the more popular and successful franchises instead of cult hit franchises and sleeper hits.

Counter-Strike, BITW.

 

It's not in the clear yet :ike:

 

Love this topic and can't believe I hadn't seen it until now.

 

Oh, and Counter Strike is indeed GOAT. Mass Effect should go far here too :hqhq:.

 

Keep loving this topic by coming by regularly to vote for your favorites! Gaming Zone Chat can be a quiet place sometimes, but thankfully we've been getting decent votes in.

 

I was pretty sure Mass Effect would plow right through C&C and it certainly looks that way. Not a single vote for Prince of Persia is a tad surprising, though.

You can't deny the Donkey Kong series.

 

Surely seems that way.

 

And now we have our winners: Mass Effect easily beats C&C, Counter-Strike narrowly defeats Killzone and Donkey Kong destroys Prince of Persia with POP getting no votes against the monkey.

 

Three new pairs will be up soon. Keep voting!
