Guinness World Records has recently created a list of the 50 greatest video game franchises. These franchises were chosen by the voting of gamers.
“We decided to take a different approach with this list than we did in the previous edition,” said aGuinness World Records’ spokesperson in a statement. “Instead of asking developers, industry insiders and journalists to rank their favorite titles, we approached a different kind of expert: the players themselves! We are confident that this ‘top 50′ more accurately reflects the tastes of the average gamer and not just the critics.”
