A pretty good list for games that changed the *world* rather than just the VG industry.
I would be tempted to remove World of Warcraft (not visible enough to the general public) and Guitar Hero (ditto), and add instead Tetris and Pokemon, both of them mass phenomena.
On half-a-seconds reflection, scratch Pokemon and put in Tamagotchi. It had a bigger immediate public impact.
