Still, how about categories for game series with a number of titles in there and possibly movie/TV tie-ins, such as the Hitman series or the Max Payne series? Those already have disambiguation pages listing all of their relevant titles.

Why not just go with a template?

Could you enlighten me as to just what the difference is, aside from the Template putting up links to all the entries in a game/movie series right on a page itself whereas you have to click on the Category: (Something) link to find out the rest of related items? Which one would be better in your view?

I think we should stick with templates for series and reserve categories for exceptionally large series. I don't think we have any hard and fast rules about it though... yet.
