I thought it would be cool to get everyone who wonts to name their top 5 game series. By this I mean games on the pc that have inspired others for example( everquest- civ-sims-baldors gate-age of empire- -unreal-starwars-...ect) I would say to consider the overall time these games have taken from your life as well as game value............dread

MINE ARE

1.0 Civilization series (simply the best)
2.0 Diablo series (esp .diablo 2) fast paced excitement
3.0 Heroes of might and magic series (turn-based fantasy)
4.0 Might and Magic series (more fantasy)
5.0 Links golf series (used to love golf)

2: Civ (more of a tie for first than a second place)

3: Fallout (the best RPGs ever)

4: Carmageddon (can anyone say "Splatter Bonus"?)

5: GTA (Kiiiill Frenzy!)

Would be hard for me to post a top five PC since I've played so much more console during my days. Therefore, I'm gonna ignore the PC rule and post top five game series from all platforms:

Tekken series
Civ series
FIFA series (altough some years were kinda lame)
Rainbow Six series
Final Fantasy series

Well, at least two out of the five were for PC :)

1) Quake Series (marred somewhat by Quake 3 failing to meet lofty expectations, but for the exceptional 1st and 2nd games in the series it gets my vote for best series)

2) Civilization Series (all 3 are classics and each improves on the one before significantly)

3) Age of Empires/Mythology Series

4) Simcity Series

5) Command & Conquer / Red Alert Series

What was wrong with Quake 3? Is it because it didnt really have a plot like Quake 2? Quake 3 was (I believe) soley made for online play.

It was still a good game; it improves on graphics from the previous ones. I guess it just wasn't as groundbreaking as either Quake 1or Quake 2, and I consider the no-single player levels (besides deathmatch w/comp opponents) a big negative.
