The Last of Us is not a franchise.

Of course it is. An IP doens't need a sequel before it becomes a franchise. You mean it's not a "series". Look up the definition of franchise.



Around the Network

1 - Uncharted

2 - Resistance

3 - inFAMOUS

4 - Left 4 Dead

5 - MotorStorm

6 - Batman Arkham

7 - Gears Of War

A quick look at the OP and you'll understand the point of this thread. The thread title doesn't say "top 7 games", it says "franchises". That means IP's with 2 or more installments.



Lords of Shadow
Infamous
Uncharted
Demon's/Dark Souls
Sleeping Dogs
Arkham
Valkyria Chronicles

If Yakuza counts, started last gen, but amazing games this gen, put that above Infamous and remove Valkyria Chronicles.



1. Uncharted
2. Little Big Planet



Top 10 Games of All Time

1. The Last of Us, 2. Journey, 3. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, 4. Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, 5. Bioshock Infinite, 6. Zelda: Twilight Princess, 7. Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception, 8. Super Smash Bros. Brawl, 9. Civilization IV: Beyond the Sword, 10. Starcraft

Around the Network

1. Dead Rising.
2. Gears of War (well, 1-3 anyway, judgment? bah)
3. Sonic & All-Stars Racing.
4. Bayonetta (i played it on 360, so i can understand ps3 fans dismissing it the way they do)
5. Saints Row.
6. Left 4 Dead.
7. hhhmmmm Dead Space (but thats not a massive compliment finishing 7th, plus DS3 is awful)



I'm not sure what mine would be.



Even though I haven't played it, is no one going to list Xenoblade Chronicles?

But Xenoblade isn't a franchise...

5. films  a film that is or has the potential to be part of a series and lends itself to merchandising

Replace "films" with "video games" and you got yourself a FRANCHISE.
