It's missing Donkey Kong, Super Mario Bros., Tetris, Ocarina of Time (invented Z-targetting), Mario 64 (invented camera controls), ya know, like, innovations that have become industry standards.

Also, the list is a joke.

Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved on a list of most innovative games? The game has "RETRO" in the title becauseThe game is 2-D. It follows Smash TV, Robotron, and Asteroids. I love all these games, but Geometry Wars is not innovative by any stretch of the imagination. It's a very solid tribute to a classic arcade genre. It's possible to really love a game without blindly hailing it as innovative when it clearly isn't. (cough cough FF7)
