Gears of War

Cover within shooters would never be the same again. And it seemed to be influential in general for many other games.

Valkyria Chronicles 

edit: when u say anything cod related u are nolonger creditable.

Of the choices provided, Call Of Duty influenced the industry the most, but personally, I was the most influenced by Super Mario Galaxy. That game it so great, I can't even describe all of it's greatness in words.

Though, of all the games released in the last generation, the one that influenced me the absolute most was Fallout 3. I love that game so much.

The Last Of Us.

Out of Nowhere came this gem of a game.

Uncharted 3, Killzone 3, Metal Gear Solid 4, Motorstorm 2, Resistance 3, Outland, Starhawk all of these games were top notch in my opinion, but TLOU was just different. It sucked me in. I felt nervous, scared, emotional, and also very angry at the end credits, lol, but all in all, it was a huge surprise to me. My game of last gen.

It'll will either be COD or Wii Sports (Which really should be on there). Both games spawned numerous clones from publishers wanting to capture that success. Wii Sports was more revolutionary in the way of gaming mentality though.

You may need to look up the definition of "influence"

I'm split between Modern Warfare and Uncharted 1.

COD4:MW - Insane graphics at the time...the opening scene was amazing. The atmosphere of the game was the best id ever experienced at that point in time, the blend between gameplay and atmosphere was a first in the industry imo. Also..who will ever forget the sniping mission? Camouflage so good that even the player couldnt see the characters on the screen laying the grass! To add to all of that the gameplay was good, the story was good, the missions were varied! Everything about the game was awesome. I think people forget that it was actually the single player experience that really got the whole COD craze going. Then the MP just elevated that craze to a whole new level.

Uncharted: Drakes Fortune - Again insane graphics and amazing atmosphere. I must have spent at least a few hours just watching Nathan Drakes clothes dry O_O This game took cinematic gaming to a level that was never achieved before imo. In fact i think Uncharted has come to define the sub genre. Nowadays gamers expect a good story, good characters, good voice acting, awesome action scenes etc. This game, along with COD:MW and Gears probably had the biggest impact on the industry as a whole and really set the tone for the generation and the industry wide shift towards cinematic games.

I knew i was off topic a tad though. Lets see umm I seriously dont have one then. I heard about the FF comparisons. Did you get a chance to play LO?
