I'm not sure if the "some of the" prefix is necessary. Possibly "from the xxx series". —The_B 22:29, 23 August 2006 (UTC)Reply
The "some of the" prefix is not always used (hence the parentheses). I use it in the case where not all of the titles in the series are included in the list. —Metamorf 06:28, 24 August 2006 (UTC)Reply
After some soul-searching, I have come to accept The_B's suggestion of changing "some of the xxx series" to "from the xxx series". —Metamorf 04:04, 2 September 2006 (UTC)Reply
Should we include the platform the games are from? —129.180.1.224 (talk) 21:40, 13 October 2008 (UTC)Reply
Unnecessary. Clicking on the relevant article's link will give you all the info you need. —Metamorf (talk) 04:31, 10 May 2009 (UTC)Reply
