It seems that Top 10, Top 20, or Top-whatever lists litter the gaming world. We can’t help but compare our likes and dislikes to that of others who share the same hobby of playing video games. That is why The Guinness Book of World Records has released a “Top 50 Video Game Series” list that is sure to have gamers all over the world griping and complaining about why their favorites didn’t make the list.
In a recent voting poll hosted by the Gamer Edition of The Guinness Book of World Records, 13,000 readers had the opportunity to vote for their favorite video game series of all-time. The results are in, and just in case you can’t (or don’t want to) purchase that huge book that feeds you a bunch of useless information, we list them here for all to enjoy.

There are definitely a few shockers on the list, like Saints Row beating out Elder Scrolls, or Pro Evolution Soccer making the list rather than the much loved Mega Man series. Other than these glaring abnormalities, the list seems fairly accurate. So do you think Halo deserves the top spot? Or would you rather have seen Cooking Mama take home the gold?
