It’s the start of a new series here at Gamesided that we’re calling “Hot Five” where we take a genre or specific franchise and give our opinions on what we feel are the top five from that specific category. But this isn’t a place where we are just going to give a list, and have you take it as is. Oh no. We want your input on everything we do. So, thanks to our friends at Ranker, we are giving you the option to re-order, and add to, the list in the way you see fit.

So, without any further adieu, here are the Top 5 Shooter Franchises as picked by editor Michael Straw. Enjoy.
