Guys, please stop attempting to psychoanalyze kain based on some posts he made on a video game forum. We all have our favorite games and we're all protective of them.
@OP: the original blog post reads like something from someone only marginally interested in video games, but I appreciate the effort. About the infographic...the 1970s an 80s are well-covered -- although I would have liked to see Ultima, Space Invaders, The Legend of Zelda, Donkey Kong, and the Game Boy -- but when it gets to the 90s and 00s it takes a turn for the worse. I think Wing Commander could be replaced with Doom or Street Fighter II, two games with a much greater legacy in the industry. I've ambivalent about StarCraft; it's an outstanding game and definitely influential, but why not use Super Mario 64 or Quake for that period?
As far as this Halo controversy goes...while I agree with kain that the game is a masterful, seminal piece of software, I think that space could have gone to Grand Theft Auto III or to Wii Sports. Furthermore, I don't understand the list beneath Halo. It doesn't really focus on what made Halo a revolution. The Kinect thing is also strange. Maybe it would make more sense if the infographic focused on its applications outside the world of video games, e.g., athletics, medical care.
