The first game by Rockstar I started off with was GTA 2 way back in the day and have played almost every game released by them since.
Rockstar is my favourite studio of all time and I thought this would be a great time to rank all their franchises.
#5 Manhunt
We start off with one of the most underrated series of games that Rockstar Games has produced, the Manhunt series. Manhunt caused a huge controversy when it came out and was accompanied by a media storm because of the violent content in the game. The second game in the series was even more controversial and was sued by the infamous Jack Thompson.
However, amidst all this controversy, what a lot of people tend to forget is what an enjoyable series Manhunt actually was. Sadly, it's unlikely we'll get another one.
#4 Midnight Club
Next on the list is the Midnight Club series. Rockstar published 4 games in the main-entries of the highly rated series which came out during the sixth and seventh generation of consoles. The series started in the year 2000 with car racing game Midnight Club: Street Racing and ended with my personal favourite entry in the series Midnight Club: Los Angeles in 2008.
Although a fifth entry into the main series was rumoured to be in development, it was cancelled by Rockstar in 2010. This is another series that we may not see another entry in the near future.
#3 Bully
Bully is one of my favourite games of all time and according to rumours, we could be seeing a sequel in the near future. The game came out in 2006 and follows Jimmy Hopkins as he tackles the challenges of life in his new school, Bullworth Academy. The story brilliantly encapsulates a version of life in school with the trademark touch of Rockstar.
Bully can now even be played on mobile phones so if you've never played this game, what are you waiting for?

#2 Red Dead
Red Dead is one of my favourite franchises of all-time. Both Red Dead Redemption and the sequel released last year are two of the best video game stories ever told in my opinion. The series also has the really underrated Red Dead Revolver as a part of it - an action game originally being developed under Capcom before Rockstar bought the rights.
#1 Grand Theft Auto
You knew this would be first right? It had to be the juggernaut that is Grand Theft Auto - some of the most enjoyable games. I started the series with GTA 2 way back in the day and it's mindblowing seeing where it has come with GTA V being the most profitable entertainment product ever released.
My personal favourite in the series is Grand Theft Auto: Vice City which was released in 2002. There was something about Tommy Vercetti's story that just gripped me when I first played it.
