Is there a good plural for\u00a0series<\/em>? I’m told that series is a zero plural, like moose or antelope or species. But that doesn’t help my feeling that there should be a way to make sure y’all know I’m talking about multiple game series. [Ed’s note: serieses?]<\/em> Because this all started as a discussion of the Fallout<\/em> series on the podcast. Joe is a\u00a0Fallout New Vegas<\/em> fan, whereas I not only think\u00a0Fallout 2<\/em> is the best one, I actually think\u00a0Fallout 4<\/em> is a much more fun game to play than\u00a0Fallout New Vegas<\/em>, although I do accept that it’s a really well-written book.<\/p>\n

Yes, I said book. See, the\u00a0game<\/em> part of\u00a0Fallout New Vegas<\/em> is the part I have a problem with. It actually manages to be slightly worse than\u00a0Fallout 3<\/em>, which is kind of impressive. Now, I don’t expect everyone to agree with me — I mean, Joe clearly doesn’t and I’m well aware that\u00a0New Vegas<\/em> is considered the best by a lot of people. I believe in my choice —\u00a0Fallout 2<\/em> is a brilliant game, a brilliant story — but I’m aware that it’s a matter of opinion. And I know some people who think\u00a0Fallout Tactics<\/em> is the best of all possible\u00a0Fallout<\/em> games, so I’m aware that no opinion, no matter how universal it may seem, is actually so. People like things for reasons that other people might not even understand.<\/p>\n

I mean,\u00a0Dragon Age 2<\/em> is still my favorite game in that series. [Ed’s note: And Matt’s right.]<\/em><\/p>\n

That’s why I thought I’d open the question up to y’all. Whether it’s\u00a0Fallout<\/em> or the\u00a0Halo<\/em> series, the\u00a0Assassin’s Creed\u00a0<\/em>games, the various\u00a0Elder Scrolls<\/em> games,\u00a0Civilization<\/em> or the\u00a0Diablo<\/em> games or what have you, we all have our favorites. We all think this game or that game is the best one. So which ones are your favorites?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
