This list is for the most part, a failure.

One example being Halo. I just had that discussion with someone today. They called it innovative, I asked why, they gave me reasons, and for just about everything the game did, some other game did it first. The only thing truly innovative was the recharging shields.

The article seems to assume that trend setting equals innovative, which is not the case.

Even then, the plethora of FPS titles that have fallen in Halo's wake pales in comparison to the saturation of 2D platforms with colorful mascots that chased Super Mario Bros for a decade.
