Kinect Adventures?

...Grand Theft Auto 3 should be there instead.

Well I disagree with the idea of listing a game that hasn't actually proven itself as being one of the most influential yet, but I generally agree with the rest.

I agree with a lot of it.

Not so much with Kinect Adventures.

I wouldn't say Wii Sports as a game is influential, though it is the demo for the almighty wii.

Terrible List

No Elite (1984) - 1st Sandbox Game

No GTA 3 (2001) - Arguably the game that made the PS2.

No Zelda Ocarina of Time (1998) - The game widely cited as the best game of all time.

No Space War (1961) - Believed to be the worlds first ever video game proper.

The list was pretty good up until the final 2 games (especially the last one).

GoldenEye 007, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Half-Life or Grand Theft Auto III should've replaced the final 2.

I agree it is a mostly okay list. But...

Do people really think Farmville is 'influential'? I, personally, hope Farmville is just a trend that won't change the world or gaming in any way.

Also, they've jumped the gun a bit with Kinect Adventures...

"Kinect Adventures (Microsoft, Xbox 360, 2010)
Okay, it hasn't changed the world yet but it could do."

Looks like they wanted a filler in there, typical Yahoo.
