I'm pretty sure you can say Halo put console FPS's on the map.

Halo is kinda borderline. It did a lot for console FPSes, brought in a lot of new ideas that other publishers and developers have been emulating. At the same time, it took a lot of cues from GoldenEye and PC FPS games.

We wouldn't be seeing such massive investments in FPS games without the huge success of Halo, though. No doubt.

The budgets for video games are way too high. It causes less risks to be taken which causes it to not be taken seriously by those anti-gaming groups for being pure escapism.

Mega super hard game.

Get hit by an enemy and the whole console and your TV explodes.

With motion controls now becoming universal, I predict Job Training games will be the new rage: you can now practice flipping hamburgers, which is useful since those are the only jobs currently out there!

Popular sequels: The Airport Security Gig and The Panhandler.

The only things I can see becoming big in the future are interactive software on handhelds and whatever the vitality sensor game ends up being. The last is only because Nintendo seems to be so adept at creating trends.

Add Final Fantasy Tactics (ps1) there for Strategy RPGs. There were a few before, but this one put them on the map.

I think a game changer has to do more than just sell well. It has to change something. Turn based strategy RPGs sold poorly before FF Tactics, and sold poorly after it also.

Perhaps also whatever Retro's next game, whatever that'll be. Metroid Prime was a game changer.

What did it change?
