Vote for you favorite video game franchises! I decided I wanted to know what everyone on Vizzed's favorite video game franchise is. I felt other polls were too narrow in choice, so I came up with a large list of popular games. Below you'll find information on each game series, to help you make an informed decision . It is suggested that you at least watch the trailer for each game. I've also included Retro Game Room links where available. I haven't provided complete data for all games.

Of course I have to pick Pokemon and Mario, and I will also pick Grand Theft Auto, though I have not played the new one yet, and I will pick Sims because I grew up with them.

Were is my ace attorney! What has the world come to

I seriously don't like any of them as much as ace attorney. I'll just go with mario because of oldschool nintendo games.

Ehh... This is yet another narrow poll when it comes to choices, Why can't I choose BlazBlue, Persona, Chrono Trigger/Cross, Fable, Lord of the Rings, Guilty Gear, Mass Effect, Skate, Tony Hawk: Pro Skater,  Viking, Just Dance, Your fitness, Wii fit, Dragon Ball/Z/GT, Super Smash Bros, Bully,  Dynasty Warriors, Samurai Warriors, Warriors Orochi, Devil May Cry (Original series.), Devil May Cry (Reboot.), And this list goes so far on it's just not funny, The thing is you can't really have a poll that isn't narrow in choice because there are way too many franchises and someone somewhere will find a game franchise their favorite, It's just the way it is, But really none of these games are my favorite franchises, If I had it  as an option I would go with BlazBlue but sadly I don't, Nor do I have Devil May Cry (Original, Not the reboot.) to go on either, You see what I mean, It's just the popular games which is also incredibly narrow, You don't have those ones the "weirdos" like me enjoy, It's all really close minded if you ask me but ehh, What can you really expect, I'm not blaming you or anything so don't take me the wrong way, I'm just pointing it out that your list is still narrow while yes, It is a step above your average, It is still nothing special.

I'm sorry that I didn't get all those options, but I tried to cover the most popular games as I've seen them from other sources. 

I know I pretty much sound like a broken record when it comes to what's my most favorite game, but again, I going to say that it's Minecraft, it's just something about that game that just makes me really like.

My vote goes to Mario. I have played the Mario franchise for a long time and I will likely always prefer it over all the other video game franchises listed here.

As good as all the other choices are. I'm going to half to go with the Metal Gear Franchise..I love it..so good

I had to go with the best Video game series of all time. That is Pokemon! I can't even start to think that I like any series better because this game brings back the memories of my first card, and then my first game.

I would be surprised if it didn't come down to Mario and Pokémon. Personally, I voted for Pokémon. I made my decision before I even looked at the options. lol

I second Frodlex's response.

The Chrono series and BlazBlue got overlooked?
I can see maybe BlazBlue, but Chrono Trigger/Cross?

You compiled a sizable list. I chose Mega Man.

I'll strike it with tRIUNE

I don't know how Uncharted was missed here, but, oh well. I really like the Yakuza and Uncharted series. I think they're pretty awesome, and I've had a lot of fun completing and continuing to play the games. I couldn't decide between either of them, it's just too difficult for me.

Edit: I might have to throw Persona into the mix, it's really a great game series that shouldn't be passed up. 

From what I see in the list, I would go with Harvest Moon, Mario, Animal
Crossing, and Legend of Zelda...but I also really like Super Smash
Bros, but it's not there...

AriaAngelDream : Super Smash Bros is at the bottom of the list, I don't know what you're talking about.

sop281 : Oh, sorry, I actually was going to put Uncharted on the list, I guess I accidentally looked over it when I was typing up the list.

stars4z: Oh, sorry. I didn't notice (since I was still sleepy)...okay

My favorite video game franchises overall are Kingdom Hearts and The Legend of Zelda. My favorite multiplayer series is Super Smash Brothers, the original one is also one of the first video games I've played.
