World of Warcraft (PC, 2004)
When it comes to the history of massively-multiplayer games, EverQuest beats World of Warcraft by five years, but whereas EQ laid a lot of the groundwork, WOW delivered the concept to a much broader market. Sure, plenty of sheltered nerds play WOW and marry chicks that are dudes, but with ten million subscribers, WOW is the coolest, most hip MMO in the world. Not only did the guys behind South Park do a hilarious parody, but Mr. T endorses the game. If a celebrity says its good, then it must be true.

and why aren't any racing games on the list? should be at least one right? even xcite bike lol.
I have to agree. About halfway through the list I was only wondering, what about MEGAMAN???
I'm sorry... but why isn't Mega Man on this list?
You forgot the very first game that came out in 1956 or somewhere around there that is the alltime most influential game since if it never appeared most games wouldnt be around atm.
and 007 on 64 was the first good shooting game

Hey, for once an actually DECENT list!
halo 1 was a hugely influential game. they pretty much had the cornerstone of fps.

What about the Gran Tourismo line? Or the Need for Speed line, the first to really offer "illegal street racing?"
