    Pretty good list although I would've put the GTA series and Madden series in the top 10.

    The GTA games created a whole new genre of action games which have led to some terrible knock offs but there's been some pretty darn good copycats.

    Madden for all its current day warts is still THE game that people think of when you mention EA Sports. The Madden games made sports videogaming the industry it became which peaked from around 2000-2004.

      Pokemon?! And I can't believe Virtua Fighter had a mention but not Tekken?

          Tekken should be in the top 5.

          My top 5 would be:

          1. Mario
          2. Sonic the Hedgehog
          3. Tekken
          4. Dead or Alive
          5. Mega Man

              That's because SF came first and basically influenced that genre far more then MK did.

                I cant argue with #1. I think anyone who has played video games has played Mario at some point in time. I grew up playing it.

                  I checked 5-1, that's exactly what I would have put. No complaints.

                    A bit unsure what exactly were the criteria for making the selections, but a good list. My only beef, the only first-person shooter on the list is Half-Life?

                    I would've at least considered adding either Doom, Unreal, Quake, or Halo. Doom in particular pretty much introduced internet-based gaming, while Unreal, Quake, and Halo arguably nearly perfected it, at least in terms of the FPS genre.

                      I'm very surprised Halo didn't even crack the list.

                          Chrono Trigger made the list and they only came out with 2 games.

                            Now, I didn't say they were right by doing that.

                            I think we at OS should compile our own list.

                              We need a next-gen Mega Man game.
