I agree with all except Kinect Adventures, Tomb Raider, and Halo: Combat Evolved.
First, it is far too soon to name Kinect Adventures as a "Game that Changed the World." Lets see in a year or two whether it was the reason behind Kinect's sales numbers.
Tomb Raider is just not a "Game that Changed the World." Yes, it sold a lot and helped Angelina Jolie's acting career, but we first had female protagonists with Samus dating back to Metroid and the gameplay was done earlier with Prince of Persia.
Third, Halo: Combat Evolved is a phenomenon and the Xbox experience, but Halo itself had nothing on Goldeneye 007 for the Nintendo 64. I would have put in Goldeneye 007 in it's place.
Finally, why no Half-life or Counter-Strike on the list? Half-life revolutionized the PC FPS genre in so many ways from the smart enemy AI, to the graphics and to the story-telling.
I would argue, Counter-Strike has been more influential for the FPS genre than the entire Halo series. Halo gave us recharging health, which many loathe and many love. Counter-Strike gave us small, urban warfare maps and the predecessor to leveling in RPGs via in-game currency from kills where the money can be spent to upgrade your arsenal. Far more influential in my opinion than chickenshit recharging health.
