Halo Tops Guinness World Record's 50 Best Video Game Series

I don't agree with some of these, like Little Big Planet shouldn't be on their with just a single game, not really a series yet. Also Killzone in no way, shape or form should be on this list. The first one was an abomination and the second one was hype and no substance. Glad to see Battfront, Halo and Gears get respect though, same with the Sonic series.

Ya, like I said, I didn't agree with everything, cause Mass Effect and Kotor should be in it instead of some of those others I listed.

Yeah, the KoTOR series is probably my favorite, other than battlefront and maybe a few others on the list.

Halo at the top? Ugh....honestly....

itd be a pretty tough list to create. gonna be alot of disagreements but id say halo and cod deserver their top 5 spots.

Ya I agree, but I feel that a game should probably have 2 really strong titles and some of those don't. Halo and COD revolutionized FPS though.

It's tough to make a mixed genre list like that because different people have different preferences. For example, I consider soccer games an absolute joke, yet at a quick glance I see two soccer titles up there.

Also, how is Runescape a series???
I bet Mr.X voted for it like a million times.... and Soccer games are a joke, though I finally got a GOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL! on the Fifa demo lmao

I was about to ask that same question about runescape, but then I realized that they have "Runescape Classic" which is the original, pixel-y version of the game, and "Runescape 2" which is the current game. Plus every aspect of the game is updated and changed constantly that it can be argued that there were tons of runescapes along the way

Technically there's 3 runescapes. It still shouldn't be on there though lol...

Too many Runescape nerds and I'm looking at you Dong462 or whatever!

I can't wait for the new KOTOR to come out.

Halos good but it shouldn't be first!
