Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Vice City does have better humor and music, and 1980s Miami is indubitably more appealing than the gangsta rap culture of South Central L.A in the 1990s ever could be, but San Andreas is just more fun.

Gran Turismo: I played half a race of the demo once, so I guess it'd have to be Gran Turismo 4.

Halo: Again, my experience with the franchise is limited to a single game: Combat Evolved. I had some giggles with 4-player split-screen, but nowadays everybody either lives too far away or doesn't like Halo, and without local multiplayer I don't really see much of a reason to buy these games.

Zelda: Though I prefer the original in some respects, (Less NPC interaction, lets you start exploring the overworld right away without any unneeded jibber-jabber, etc.) the side-quests, refined (one could even say perfected) gameplay, more intricate dungeons and the Dark World give A Link to the Past the edge.

And the music is just .

I expected to be the only one who favored Wind Waker over all the other Zeldas, I must say I am surprised

GTA: This is an easy one: none. A game series that glorifies crime, is buggy as all hell, is responsible for propping up a company, and frankly has no redeeming qualities? I will be one of the happiest people if this series crashes and burns.

GT: It's not flawed, but for some reason, I just never got into this series. I'd guess that it's the realism factor removing me from just trying to relax and have fun?

Halo: I never cared for FPS games, thus, I've never played a Halo game, and can't fairly judge them.

Zelda: Another easy one: Link to the Past. Zelda is one of those series that I do not feel made the transition to 3D well. I remember not being able to find things in the old Zelda games without a guide. But then OoT came along. The fun for me, wondering where everything was, was gone. Without ever looking anything up, the only things I'm missing were a few (read: single digits) skulltullas. I was disappointed. So much so that when Majora's Mask was announced, using a similar engine, I skipped it entirely. But, LttP... those pieces of heart were vicious! And the 4th bottle. It kept me looking; while there was more hidden in Zelda 1 (and I still can't tell you where every secret is in that game!), the refinements to everything in LttP just makes me prefer it so much more.

How can you not appreciate GTA (especially San Andreas), it doesn't glorify crime, it is far deeper than that. While it has it's fair share of bugs, I would say it's above average in that department. GTA:SA changed the scale, the world was a huge sandbox and the cheats were absolutely genius, it took 3 years of obsessive playing before I got bored of that game. Getting into a sports car and putting on the flying cars cheat could put a smile on anyone's face.

Anyway...

GTA:SA - I already stated my reasons above, that game just took everything to a new level, complete freedom to do whatever you wanted to.

GT5 - I have only played GT1 and GT5, I was too young to even remember GT1 that much, but GT5 was a fun game and wins the vote.

Halo - No comment.

Zelda - I have only played Ocarina of Time, while it was fun the game just seemed too hard, you had no idea where to go or what to do. This was made even worse by the lack of narrative, it wasn't long before I gave up after Link turned into an adult.
