Games + Mods = Half-Life

Half-Life is definitely the definitive PC franchise. And rightfully so. Civilization and The Sims are definitely close contenders, but those are somewhat more casual when compared to the general populous that plays HL.

Personally, the SImCity franchise beats all PC franchises out there... but The Sims is a close second.

I would like to say "The Sims" because I think that's one franchise that has reached out to the public the most.

I nominate the Carmack series, Wolf3d Doom, quake, Doom again etc, you could pretty much call it the same series of games not that they don't make huge evolutionary steps with each new iteration.  People base hardware purchases on what this evil genius is going to do next.

Half-Life, all great games and you can't forget the modding community it has either.

Even though I dislike it, I would probably say Warcraft, just because WoW is the most popular game in the world of any system.

I'm a Blizzard fanboy to begin with, so it's basically between their big three franchises for me. Right now, it would be Warcraft (although I don't care for WoW). After Diablo III is released, I could see myself lean towards that. And I love Starcraft, but there's only one of them out right now (not including the expansion).

Personally it's Fallout to me, and I don't count Tactics or FO3 to be a part of that franchise, it ended in FO2 for me.

But with fanboy goggles off I'd prolly say Civilization, they've all been amazing games and at the top of their genre time after time, I never get bored of them and it's already at 4th installment even without exp packs.

If we are talking PC exclusive, my favorite is Half-life. They have raised the bar with every single game in the series!
