Just curious about opinions on what some fellow klover's favorite console game series are.

Not just out of curiousity,but maybe suggestions on games I should try if I already haven't.Maybe there's a game series or two that I've never heard of that I should play or be playing.

Apologies in advance for not having any new console games on here as I don't own any new systems.....yet.

Some of my favorite console games series...that I can think of at the moment.

Mega Man (big shock there)
Dragon Quest
Castlevania
Contra
Zelda
Metroid
Dynasty Warriors
Resident Evil
Devil May Cry
Onimusha
Star Ocean

These aren't really series,but I love me some River City Ransom and Crono Trigger!
Not into Final Fantasy much anymore,although I loved FF Tactics.
 
Professor Layton games on the DS are both good puzzle games
Mass Effect 1 and 2 on Xbox 360 are good shooter RPGs
 
The Zelda stuff

The Metroid stuff

The Metal Slug stuff (if we are talking NeoGeo home console hehehehe)

The Super Mario stuff (up until gamecube)

The Medal of Honor Stuff

The Grand Theft Auto stuff

The Castlevania stuff
 
I am sure Final Fantasy has to be up there.

Definitely Metroid, Super Mario and Zelda.

Mario Sunshine wasn't so great, but Mario 64 and Mario Galaxy were awesome.

Diablo and Half-Life on PC should rate a mention, even though there aren't many games in these series yet.

Gran Turismo
Forza Motorsport
Project Gotham Racing
Street Fighter
Bomberman
Battlefied series (1942, Vietnam, Battlefield 2, Bad Company etc... )

well, they were great, but until megamanX the series never really changed. On the NES, if you played one Mega Man, you basically played them all. Still great games though, especially number 2.

3 was what sold me. I was a huge MM nut up through 4 or so and really liked X but didn't care much for the X's after that. The remakes on PSP were bad ass, too.

3 is good too. 1,2,3 were solid with me. But by 4,5,6 I just stopped buying. Wasn't even really a big X fan, but to me it was good because they finally reinvented Mega Man a little bit.
 
I am a huge fan of all Nintendo series but if I had to pick a non-Nintendo series it would be...

the Metal Gear Solid series! It is one of the reasons I bought a PS1 back in the day and I was hooked on the story, the atmosphere, and the action.
 
The FF series was always one of my favorites, Dragon Warrior/Dragon Quest, Secret/Legend of Mana, Arc the Lad, Zelda... so many good ones!

I had quit buying MM games after the X series since I didn't have a GBA to play the MM Network series.Once I did buy a GBA,I bought the first 3 MM network games.I played halfway through the first one then ended up selling my GBA.I did download a GBA emulator and downloaded all 6 of the MMN series.

After actually taking the time to play the games,I really enjoyed playing the first 3.The 4th one was too short,plus I wasn't a big fan of having to buy both versions to complete everything.I started playing 5,but haven't gotten around to playing it again.And I haven't touched 6 yet.I'll get around to it eventually.

Btw,anyone else stoked about the new Castlevania game on the horizon?
 
Can't believe no one mentioned one of the greatest PS1 series...Spec Ops! I can remember being up all night playing Stealth Patrol, those were great, long before Modern Warfare, Spec Ops was the shit!

And on a side note, anyone else notice the new Spec Ops in the works? Looks great!

I never did get into the Battle Network games, though I only ever played one of them (and I don't recall which one it was). They seemed too kiddish/pokemonish or something, I don't know.
 
What??? No Phantasy Star fans!!!!

Ghosts and Goblins series
Space Harrier series

Sonic--Genesis stuff, interested on Sonic 4 for this year....

Mega Man 2 was the best...Part 3 was good but after that, meh....X was good....

I've only tried to play one Phantasy Star game - portable for the PSP, and I just couldn't get into it.
