I think innovation also has to take into consideration impact (i.e copy cats) as well.

In that regard, CoD4 deserves to be barely in this list, probably in the top 30 because it's "RPG" like customisation system has been ripped off and copy catted since and will be for a long time to come.

In that same train of thought, Geometry Wars, Bioshock, FF7 and SoTC don't deserve to be on the list.

The only thing that FF7 introduced was 3D to the FF series and Materia (and the system of equipping to weapons). SoTC only tugged at the heart strings and had atmosphere, both of which existed in gaming before this games release. Bioshock is the same (except I think the story twist was quite original).

Also, there's massive omissions of Ocarina of Time and Goldeneye (probably more deserving than Halo of it's spot).
