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)

Not that I disgaree with the list being a joke, but Mario 64 is number ten on the list. Personally I'm overly biased for it and would put it higher simply because it more or less helped define what 3D platformer gaming really is. At least, I think it did.

The list is pretty bad, like day old sushi or the Los Angeles Clippers.
