My Cart - And so we reach the final part of our series on the best series in video games. We’ve looked at some true classics and emerging titles, spanning pretty much every genre. Today, our glorious finale, we’ll have a quick round-up of also-ran’s – the games we wished we could’ve covered but never had the chance. So let’s start with…
Fallout
We hope we can maintain our humour in the face of the post-apocalypse half as well as these blackly comic RPGers.
Resident Evil
It may have lost its way recently, but earlier Resident Evil titles are frequently considered the best survival horrors of all time… Wait. What’s that sound behind us?
Mass Effect
Solid shooting, planet exploration, moral dilemmas… Sure, it may be a Stars Wars game in all but name but hey, we’re definitely not complaining.
Street Fighter (And Mortal Kombat)
You can button-mash all day long in these fighting games, but go up against someone who actually knows the combos and it’s always going to end with a… FATALITY!
The Sims
Play The Sims and exercise your obvious Messiah complex in this top-down lifestyle simulator that has narcissists hooked.
Lego
Harry Potter. Star Wars. Indiana Jones. Pirates of the Caribbean. Batman. The Avengers… If it exists in popular culture, there’s probably a Lego game version of it.
Halo
The story-telling is epic, the protagonist iconic, and the space-age shooter re-defined multiplayer for a generation.
Tomb Raider
The franchise may be almost 20-years-old, but English artefact hunter Lara Croft is still going strong, nicking ancient golden emblems and bejewelled goblets and anything else she can lay her hands on.
Bomberman
Like mazes? Like strategy? Like explosives? Then boy oh boy, have we got a series for you…
Carmen Sandiego
Fancy trawling the world for a beautiful Hispanic anti-heroine? Check out the educational Carmen Sandiego series, which teaches kids about geography, history, maths and English.
Hitman
We make enough noise just walking down the stairs, let alone garrotting some poor chap just metres away from his mates. Thankfully Agent 47, the hitman with a heart of gold, doesn’t have that problem.
BioShock
Has a game ever made you think, the way good literature does? If any shooter can do it, it’s the BioShock trilogy, which covers everything from Randian individualism to the nature of the universe.
But hey, whatever series you’re playing, make sure you’ve got an awesome television to play them on.
