Glad to see Bioshock and Shenmue made it it. I think System Shock 2 would have been a better choice, but hey..

The Bard's Tale III is in there. Nice. That was a very enjoyable game with interesting art.

That's pretty cool. Why are so many of the Zeldas in there though?

Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure


This made me surprised but happy. Such an unknown and great puzzle game.

No Katamari or The Void? Heresy! ^_^

Well, nice selection. They went for something to best represent a variety of genres of different generations, so it's a nice list.

I really don't think that Sims ever had a very distinct style to it. But hey, the game that made it even possible for The Sims to exist is in. ^_^

I was wondering the same thing. I think maybe only one game of its series should have been chosen. I also think there should have been more thought put into the game choice. For example, games that revolutionized a genre or game mechanic, or took a genre into a new direction, or were the first of their kind to do x, y, or z. They don't necessarily have to be popular or well-known, but the games should also have a broader significance in terms of their impact on the industry and reactions from consumers.
