Microsoft's recent Xbox Developer Direct has generated considerable excitement for the future of Xbox gaming. But which Xbox game franchises truly resonate with players? This article explores a personal ranking of Xbox game series, considering both classic titles and newer releases from Microsoft's expanded portfolio (including Bethesda and Activision Blizzard). Note that this list focuses on established series with multiple entries; it's not exhaustive.
Here's a personal tier list based on enjoyment and impact:
Doom easily earns an S-tier ranking. The recent entries are among the best first-person shooters available, and Doom: The Dark Ages promises a continuation of this excellence. Forza Horizon also secures an S-tier spot; arguably the best racing game series since Burnout 3 and Burnout Revenge. Halo's placement in A-tier might be controversial. While Halo 2 and 3 are iconic, recent inconsistencies prevent a higher ranking. Personally, the Fallout series holds more appeal than Elder Scrolls – power armor over dragons any day!
This is just one perspective. Do you consider Gears of War the ultimate Xbox franchise? Are you a staunch defender of Fuzion Frenzy? Share your own Xbox game series tier list and discuss your rankings in the comments below. Let us know if we've overlooked any deserving series!
