Get rid of Angry Birds, the sims and especially Fifa.

>No Metal Gear, Final Fantasy, Street Fighter, or Warcraft II/Starcraft

Ew, Angry Birds.

I would've put in Castlevania, personally.

It's not the best games, it's those that have been most influential and long-lasting. Angry Birds is a pretty large franchise, and probably the most notable one that helped popularize mobile games to casual consumers, so I have to say I understand its inclusion.

It seems like this will be a yearly thing though? So if it is, chances are some other big game franchises - Final Fantasy, Metal Gear Solid, etc - will show up in there at some point. But I get the feeling they're trying to downplay modern games as much as possible unless they're fuck-ton explosions of cultural acceptance.

Except half that list is modern.

You people and your nostalgia are killing the hall of fame list making industry.

You are not alone.
Part of me says they should have excluded tablet games, but it's just Angry Birds, so eh.

The only games on there I'd consider modern are WoW, Angry Birds and Minecraft, really. Maybe the Sims too, but I don't really consider it as such. Nor do I really think it belongs, unless eventually this list will just turn into "games filthy casuals loved".

While I think other games should be on this list, I can understand the reason for them all.

FIFA though I'm not sure about. I understand picking a sports game that had a massive impact, but that's not FIFA. Even if they are going for the franchise and not the individual game, FIFA still wouldn't be a good pick. They should have gone for Sensible Soccer honestly. Unlike FIFA which is only really fun if you're really into the sport, Sensible Soccer was just a great game and considered a classic for a reason.

WoW isn't modern, it's fucking ancient with a few skin upgrades. It deserves a spot on that list for simply spawning so many fucking failures that got hyped as "WoW killers" even though the developers never intended for them to be.

Ultima as a franchise deserved a spot. So many RPGs came about because of it and each installment was always so different from anything else on the market whenever they came out.
