I think a lot on those list didn't make much of a difference to the world. I don't think Doom, Ico, Cave Story, and most others made a blip in world culture. Some may have influenced games that did, but themselves are unimpactful.
The games that did have an impact?
World of Warcraft
Goldeneye 007
Sim City
The Sims
Pokemon
Dragon Quest
Wii Sports
Wii Fit
These are games that had an impact culture far beyond being just another game for kid-poindexter to play.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
