    4 is is my favorite 1&3 sucks but 2 is my 2 favorite

    completely unrealistic comparison - considering the inflation in scores because of the "OMG NEXT GEN". Plus, like said, most games haven't gotten past 4 yet. still a good article though.

    That must mean there's still hope for Halo 4.

    four for the wine

    I just realized this today! Four is also the new trend for number of letters for Titles. FEAR, DiRT, GRID, PURE, FUEL, I'm probably missing a few but there are more.

    I seem to enjoy the second entry in a series the most. Suikoden 2, Mother 2, Resident Evil 2, Star Ocean 2, Silent Hill 2,...

    42?

    YOU'RE F**KIN KIDDING!!!! MGS 2 IS THE WORST IN THE SERIES. NOT SAYIN THAT IT'S BAD, BUT IT'S BY FAR THE WORST FOR CHRIST'S SAKE!

    just wait til they reach 7th iteration in game engines/releases. 7 will be the best number. eg: it's 77.7% certain that track #7 on any album you pick at random will be a stellar track. not necessarily the best but certainly note-worthy.

    I think that there is a good case for the number 2 or 3: Monkey Island 2 is many fan fan’s favourites but I adore part 3 (‘Curse of ‘) for its animation and sound whereas 4 had obscure solutions to puzzles and 3D animation that wasn't quite as pleasing as part 3. Sonic 2 and 3 are both good- I prefer Sonic 2 though. I got the feeling that Devil May Cry 3 was now regarded as regarded as the best by many? Silent Hill 3 is more highly regarded by 4 but I suppose that most people regard part 2 as the best- I’m not sure why- all that fog is annoying. I prefer the Gamecube Resident Evil remake (technically still Resident Evil 1) than RE4.

    It's good to know metacritic scores do not mean jack. Metal Gear Solid 2 was the worst entry of the series, it couldn't give an inch of the excitement the first was able to provide.

    I also like fours the best

  • silvereye - May 17, 2009 7:38 p.m.

    If 4 is so great and many franchises have a 4th entry, does this mean were all screwed when a fifth game comes out or another number like 6 or 7 will become the greatsest number?

  • Demonflare - May 17, 2009 5:37 p.m.

    4 should be the limit of games, really...

  • IceManYEA - May 17, 2009 4:27 p.m.

    Street fighter4 does not suck. You Suck.

  • GrantG - May 17, 2009 3:49 p.m.

    street fighter 4 sucked,, because of ggod damn seth.

  • Tasty_Pasta - May 17, 2009 5:36 a.m.

    Before I even started reading, I figured it would be four.

  • dland - May 17, 2009 1:17 a.m.

    That's interesting. I wonder why the 4th edition to a series is the best in many cases? Does it take 4 games for the developers to get a good grip on what makes the series great? Good article! I enjoyed it.

    I know this is not a series but you should have mentioned Left 4 Dead.
