How dare you not include the pokemon series!!
Well, from the choice on the poll, i chose War 3 cause it was the game that brought me into th idea of strategy. The hours i spent on Warcraft 1 was countless, the story was great, and the alternations between orcs and humans was one of the greatest features in a game i had played back then. Then Warcraft 2 came along, opening up the game much more, and upgraded my allready favourit units. Along with extremely improved game play the story line proved to be incredibly better than war 1. Warcraft 2 also got the map editor which brought out my creative side. Along with the Multiplayer modes, it was great. (I got origianl war 2 and never B-nat edition, so im left out on that area.) Finaly Warcraft 3 comes out, which i have been waiting for since it was first announced. the graphics are great, no matter what most of u say, the story was a great improvement on there previous instalments in the warcraft saga. The BNET support of warcraft 3 sealed its fate, as the best series.
On another note, individualy SC is better than warcraft 3, but it was the whole warcraft series that realy got me involved, so thats where my vote goes.
As for secret of mana, i truely believe THAT GAME SUCKS!!!!!
GTA 3 is a good game, but it's not the same type of game as warcraft 3, so i can't rate them.
