Super Mario 64 was a revolutionary title. I would rather not go into the specifics, but the game was not only genre defining, but genre generating. Until Nintendo did it nobody knew how it was supposed to be done. That game has a serious impact on gaming not just in its genre. So many of the mechanics have found their way into games in drastically different genres. Super Mario 64 changed gaming.

I find it shameful that any site would rank SMG higher then SM64. They really should know better then to do that. Given the impact of the originator, and the relative imitation of the latter. A unoriginal knock off should never triumph over the brilliant original. The only explanation for this is the ranking systems are pathetic if they are not highlighting the difference.

I highly recommend that anyone who has not played Halo 3, and given all the advanced features a real spin. Take the time to do so. There are a myriad of innovative features. Then you can't ignore the presentation and packaging of those innovations. Those features will be entertaining for years on end. Thats reason enough for Halo 3 to be on the list.
