The Guinness World Records book (Gamer’s Edition) has named Halo as the top videogame series of all time. Disagree? Don’t blame them, the results are based on an online poll where 13,000 members of the public voted for their favourite franchises.
There are some glaring omissions if you ask us. Given, there has only been two games, but no Uncharted? Gears of War has had a similar number of titles released and yet it makes the top ten.
The full, baffling and contentious list is as follows:
1. Halo
2. Call of Duty
3. The Legend of Zelda
4. Guitar Hero
5. Metal Gear
6. Super Mario Bros.
7. World of Warcraft
