1. Demon's/Dark Souls
2. Persona
3. Metroid
4. Castlevania (2D only)
5. Ratchet & Clank
6. The Witcher
7. Pokemon
8. Deus Ex
9. God of War
10. Halo

Yeah, but this is made by the Soul Caliber/Tekken team. Sonic Fighters was just bad, like most Sonic games (sorry).

I don't see the appeal of fighting with pokemon, when I can do it with real fighters like kilik or cassandra.

I disagree but whatever.

1. Super Smash bros (Spent hundreds adn hundreds of hours on each installment)
2. Runescape (I know it isn't a franchise but i spent over 200 days on this game.)
3. Donkey Kong Country (Loved the original games on SNES and Tropical Freeze is my favorite 2D platformer of all time)
4, PIkmin (Pikmin 3 is love)
5. Luigi's Mansion (Luigi >)
6. Mario (I've had lots of fun wiht every installment)
7. The legend of Zelda (My favorite is Wind Waker)
8. Metroid (Super Metroid made me a big fan, looking forward to the trilogy)
9. Call of Duty (Spent 36 days on black ops 1)
10. Mario Kart (I was hooked on Mario kart 8 for over a month recently)

I skipped the 7th generation of games because i would much rather play runescape (no game for ps3 stood out from the rest at stores and I had black ops so i didn't want other shooters or zombie games.) So I literally don't play third party franchises. If it comes to Wii U and 3ds i give thm a shot such as Assassin's creed: black flag.

What an impossible list... I know I'll think of tons I forgot the moment I'm done. In no particular order:

The Mario series
Warcraft (rts and mmo)
Age of Empires
Diablo
Elder Scrolls (mmo is only one I didn't care for)
Final Fantasy
Rainbow Six/BF/CoD then back to BF was my fps progression... Cheating, I know :p
Europa Universalis
Total War
Legend of Zelda

...I'd much prefer this had been a "top 40 franchises" list. Makes me sad to leave so many out. :p
