i don't understand how Starcraft and Halo are on this list. They really not stand out to me as evolutionary. And whats so special about WoW? Ocarina of Time should be on here too since it basically invented the lock-on mechanic.

Really? For lock-on? Starcraft and Halo both set standards and changed the face of gaming. Starcraft is a new sport and Halo is freaking HALO.  I do agree that Zelda deserves a spot on the list, but it's a small timeline and everything can't make it on.

OoT set the standard for almost every 3d platforming and adventure game, tomb raider, dark souls etc. Halo is good but Goldeneye would have been a more apropriate and deserving spot, because it was the game that really put shooters on consoles. Halo didnt do anything.... special, i think is the right word
