. Here is my top 5 video game series of all time:#5. Halo
Although I'm not a HUGE fan of First Person Shooters, I say that Halo is an acception. It was, and always will be my first FPS I've ever played. I always find it enjoyable to go back and play these games, especially Halo 3. The multiplayer is addictive, the graphics are nice and the story is great!
#4. Super Mario
I'm sure most saw this coming. Mario was the gateway to most kids' childhood and he will always be here in the gaming community till the end. In fact, the first video game I've ever played was Super Mario 64. Since my N64 sadly no longer works, I'm forced to play it on the Wii's Virtual Console, but I'm not complaining! Although I'm putting him somewhat low in this list, Mario will always stay in a special place in most of our hearts! He's definitely nicknamed "Mr. Video Game" for a reason, and it's definitely not because of that mustache.
#3. Super Smash Brothers
Super Smash Brothers. Some say this could be the best fighting series of all time. Me? Why I 100% agree! Ever since one of my friends introduced me to the series with Melee, I've been nothing but addicted. I've never originally played Smash Bros. on the N64, but I did have to wait a while for Nintendo to release it for Virtual Console. That was a decision that I'm proud of. Ever since I was introduced to this series, I was hooked! When Nintendo first announced Brawl, the wait for that game almost killed me. But let me tell you, it was worth the wait. Brawl is, without a doubt, my favorite game on the Wii. The next Smash Brothers coming out for the Wii U and 3DS is the game I'm most excited about in the future.
#2. Legend of Zelda
This. Series. Kicks. ASS! This series is named the "Lord of the Rings" of video games for a reason! One does not simply get over the fact that this series is freaking amazing (see what I did there?)! Although I never really knew what the heck I was doing when I first played Zelda (Ocarina of Time being the first one I played) I did enjoy walking all over the place, breaking into everybody's houses and destroying their pots. But sadly, after that time of playing Ocarina, I haven't played any other Zelda game up until I tried out Twilight Princess. After first playing, I was drawn in almost immediately. After playing Twilight Princess for a while, I later decided to play some older Zelda games. When I got my hands on Wind Waker, I became the big Zelda fan I am today, plus making Wind Waker my favorite Zelda game of all time. I'm such a Zelda fan, it took me only a week to beat Skyward Sword and, thus later, I 100%-ed that game. I can't wait for the new Zelda game on it's way to the Wii U.
#1. Sonic the Hedgehog
What? Don't tell me you didn't see this coming! Without a doubt, the Sonic the Hedgehog series is my favorite video game series of all time. Ever since my best friend (still is my best friend today) first introduced me to Sonic with Sonic Heroes, I decided to get an Xbox (I didn't know Sonic Heroes was on the gamecube at the time so don't judge me haha) for christmas that year and specifically get it for Sonic Heroes. On that christmas, I was thrilled to have the Xbox 360, which I never knew that existed at the time, and also surprised that my mother actually got me ANOTHER Sonic game for me. But I would have been better without that game...the game I'm talking about is none other than...the dreaded Sonic 06. But at the time, since I was only 9, I played and enjoyed only parts of it. I know people are going to destroy me for saying that, but I will explain why I enjoyed parts of it. I think the graphics were nice, the story was pretty well thought-out, the cutscenes were epic and fun to watch (especially the CG cutscenes), the voice acting was okay, the soundtrack was amazing...but the gameplay was freaking HORRIBLE! But without out Sonic 06, we wouldn't have some of the jokes that came from that game, everyone's favorite being "IT'S NO USE!" Although many people say Sonic 06 was the worst Sonic game in existence, I disagree. I say Sonic and the Secret rings is the worst. It was boring, the story was silly, the cutscenes were unenjoyable in many ways and, worst of all, it was non-linear. I was always confused on how I got the 2nd world ring before the 1st one and the 5th before the 3rd, and I completely gave up on that game. Now onto another game. Many people say that they hated Sonic and the Black Knight. I'm honestly going to say this, I actually enjoyed that game! Sure it did play like Secret Rings, but the sword makes up for it. I honestly think that game is very underrated. Anyways, before I get a ton of hate messages, let's move on. Ever since the release of Sonic Unleashed, SEGA has been getting back on track (minus the "Werehog"). With the release of Sonic Colors, the game has been one to fit a perfect modern style Sonic game. The only problem I have with that game is that 85% of the gameplay is in 2D. But with the release of Sonic Generations, I was stunned. That game (for me at least) is the most nostalgic game ever. Thus, making Sonic Generations my favorite 3D Sonic Game. Before I get a lot of hate comments, yes I do love Sonic Adventure 2 a ton. Don't worry, it is my 2nd favorite 3D Sonic game. Now just for the hell of it, I will make a Top 5 list of my favorite Sonic Characters (a Top 5 List within a Top 5 List? TOP-5-LIST-CEPTION!).
#5. Knuckles the Echidna
Unlike Sonic, he doesn't chuckle.
#4. Dr. Eggman/Robotnik
"Get a load of this!"
#3. Shadow the Hedgehog
The "Ultimate Life Form" on a hunt for that DAMN fourth Chaos Emerald!
#2. Blaze the Cat
Extremely awesome character. I think she deserves a lot more recognition.
#1. Sonic the Hedgehog
The blue blur himself. "You're too slow!"
Anyways that is my top 5 list of my favorite video game series of all time! I am really thankful if you in fact did read the whole thing. It just means a lot to me when you guys waste your time to read my opinions haha. I hope you guys will accept my opinion as much as I will accept yours. Tell me what you think of my list(s)! And definitely feel free to leave a top 5 list yourself! I'm looking forward to what you guys think and what your favorites are!
