Good evening!

I have Circle of Blood but did not know that it's the first game in the series. I thought that as it's known as Shadow of the Templars outside North America, it's the second game in the series. Is this correct?

Jim

The European and North American releases had different names for the same game, the first game in the series. Circle of Blood is the North American title; Shadow of the Templars is the name it was given for the European release.

Another list bites the dust!
As always, two lists follow, one numerical, one alphabetical. I have started the numerical list with the Hall of Fame games, and included the Hall of Fame games in the alphabetical list. They are marked **.
The numerical list this year shows placings rather than votes. MaG posts it that way somewhere else on the board so I have done it that way from the get go. You can see the votes in the alphabetical list.
I have used full as well as alternate titles where I have known them. I no doubt missed a few. In the alphabetical list, I have taken some liberties with names to get series together where possible. It wasn’t always possible, so on a couple of occasions I have marked a game as a sequel. I have also numbered the series games to assist with the order in which they were developed. Be warned - they may not be sequels, just additional games in a series.
I used that list to create the numeric list, so the liberties remain. I will cross check and edit later to make sure actual titles are shown (eg Dreamfall rather than Longest Journey 2). The games on my shelf will have final say (including those that are numbered).
A few darkish games crept in but we are all friends.
And good to see Isabelle keeps getting mentioned
Awesome thanks to Chief who helps with the count and apologies up front for any mistakes, which are all mine.
