We love war-themed video games, especially ones that let us shoot Nazis and hop online to destroy our friends. With that said, we compiled a list of the industry's most influential war games, a collection that includes real time strategy as well as hardcore shooters.

where the **** is starcraft , metal gear sold or warcraft.
dude DW pwns rofl love that game :D good choice there
i consistently see the video games section of this AIM page writing awful swill. if i didn't know better i'd think they had a crack team of trained chimps on the payroll to write about games. half of these games just came out. some may have been ground breaking, but what the hell came of them? learn how to construct a proper review/special. you're supposed to be professionals
I BEAT THIER JUST PAYED TO MAKE THIS LIST lol these games suck cod4 was good tho
Hmmm, didnt Halo pretty much keep XBox alive with sales during XBox's infancy? And I'm sure Starcraft, which has survived ten plus years, sold millions of copies, and has won PC Game of the Year should be up there in that list too.
Sorry about the confusing numbering in my last comment. It wont let me edit it for some reason. :/
I don't see how some of these games are influential. Resistance and Gears? What have they influenced? Here's my top 10 in no particular order. 1. Wolfenstein 3d 2. Warcraft 2/Starcraft 3. Metal Gear Solid 4. Goldeneye 5. Rainbow 6 6. Tribes 7. Battlefield 1942 8. Mechwarrior 2 9. Shogun: Total War 10. Halo
I'd say all the Call of Dutys,all the Halos,and Gears of War 1 and 2
really, no starcraft? that game tops all
