Welcome Escapist Community Members!

Starting August 17, The Escapist will be launching the Summer E Games, a two-week long event full of quizzes, contests and competitions for badges. One of the events is a Legacy Battle in which 32 of your favorite series battle to be number one. The only problem is, we have over 70 series to pick from, so we need you, The Escapist community, to choose which 32 series will make it into the initial battle. All you have to do is click on which series you want to see as part of the battle from the left column, make sure they are highlighted and then add them to the list on the right by clicking the right arrow button. After you have chosen 32, click the submit button (if you've exceeded the 32 limit, our system will tell you). If you don?t see your favorite series there, this is just for a bit of fun but you are welcome to give a healthy and friendly shout out to your favorites.

Please select your 32 favorites and on August 17th, we?ll have the first round open for voting and the match-ups that will be taking place. Thank you everyone for helping out and get ready for more events during the Summer E Games!

Click on the link at the top of the page and pick your 32!

I haven't played 32 of those 70, so some of my votes were 'wasted' I guess. Then again I wouldn't want to decrease my chances and vouch for a series I know nothing about.

Like Ultima.

Or Zelda.

Well really...Starcraft isn't technically a series considering the second hasn't even been released so it can't be considered a technical series. There were only a few expansion packs on the first.

(I could be wrong on that mind you)

Either way, A series commonly involves it having more than one game. Excluding expansions..since all that is technically is a build on one of the games already out there.

The issue I see with this is that the "series" will more than likely be voted on based on the most recent of the games, not the series as a whole. If a series had one great fantastic game but the rest were just awful..well...it's more than likely going to be considered based on that one game.

BUT! I'm starting to ramble by this point. Voted and this is going to be fun to wait what happens when you start this up.

As far as i know it's not a series yet. I think missing our medal of honour is a bigger point but since I doubt it would get in I don't think that it matters.

After about 10 choices, I started picking titles that were appealing to me. I said it once but I'll say it again, I need to catch up on current gaming.

What? No Marvel franchise? I think they've released enough games based on the Marvel Universe to be classified as a series over and over again.

Starcraft is not a series and expansions don't count...but awesome use of the word "Shenanigans"!

After this draft closes, we are going to randomly put legacies against each other (sort of like March Mayhem). That will start, along with ALL of the other events, August 17th.

No, this is not the only event in the Summer E Games. :)
