I would have replaced Kinect Adventures with OoT and would have added Space Wars and SMB.

GTA3?!?!

Super Mario Bros?!?!?



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

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.



Putting kinect adventures there is like giving Obama the Nobel prize, oh wait...



Super Mario Bros (original) should have replaced Mario 64 (imo)

And a Zelda game should have made that list



Unicorns ARE real - They are just fat, grey and called Rhinos

Hm, I don't know why Kinect Adventures is there since it hasn't really had any time to influence anything...saying it could influence sounds kinda wierd; might as well be replaced with Sports Champions, uDraw or something else that could be influental.

 

Super Mario Bros., Ocarina of Time and GTA3 should all be there.



no clue about kinect adventures it hasn't changed anything and will it? 

it should of been GTA3 since like heaps of games have spawned off it 



Of Course That's Just My Opinion, I Could Be Wrong

The first Super Mario Brothers should have been on that list. Hell they could have just took out  Super Mario 64 and put Super Mario Brothers. It did a hell of a lot more for games than Mario 64 could  ever dream of.



I think they forgot about Super Mario Bros, Zelda Ocarina of Time and Street Fighter. In my opinion, both Marios (64 and Bros) deserve to be on the list. 

Is too soon to say about kinect adventures, but i wouldn't put in my list. And what the hell is farmville? Is a game with influence of the harvest moon.
