The thirteen most important games since 2000

[mothersruin]

Company of Heroes?

 

[cerebus]

company of heroes - that was a great game. But most important? I'm not sure about that. I would include at least one Relic game though - when was Homeworld released?

 

[N1sh]

That is a terrible list.

Oblivion.

+3, One the most influential games IMO.

 

[Picard]

The absence of Oblivion and NFS Most Wanted is a major oversight

 

[gregmcc]

I take most of these 'lists' with a pinch of salt - anything missing The Witcher EE and Oblivion can't be much of a list.

 

[cerebus]

don't think nfs most wanted was all that important. There were better racing games - Grid, Burnout 3 for instance.

 

[agerbon]

The list is way off!

That list is about recent successful games.

At the moment can only think of a few games that influenced the design of other games this past decade.

Dungeon Siege
Neverwinter Nights
Call of Duty
Medal of Honor
Ghost Recon
Kotor
Doom 3
Far Cry
Unreal tournament (Mar 1999)
Quake3 (Dec 1999)


but for a true list of influential games we need to go back to the 90's.

medal of honor + call of duty on the same list?

 

[agerbon]

medal of honor + call of duty on the same list?

Yea they basically showed us how fps war games should look like, both brought new ideas to the table.

 

[freematrix]

Just from reading everyones comments, I think the list should have been boken p between multiplayer and single player. Many people prefers certain games for multiplayer and single player reason as well.

GTA 3
Fallout 3
HL2

Excellent single player games.

CS best multiplayer etc.

 

[ngwenyas]

why is Fifa nt mentioned in the list?

 

[cerebus]

fifa isn't that important.
