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. |
