For example, one could argue for the 90s:
Super Mario World Doom Street Fighter II FF7 OOT Resident Evil To further define, by defining the decade I mean that these games were embodiments or progenitors of major trends, "era-creating" innovations, or the "spirit" of the era.

Halo What about the gimmicky Wii games that were hugely popular in the mainstream? I think it could be argued that was a major shift in the 00sgaming becoming a non-niche hobby. By that same logic, Rock Band was a massive commercial success too. Or what about Fable giving the multiple character choices and endings format? I didn't word that optimally, but I think people know what I mean. --- "Oh, you think lag is your ally. You merely adopted lag. I was born in it, molded by it.

Also, I think a good argument could be made for RE4, as well for the 00s.
Over the shoulder phenomenon, it captured the spirit of the "war on terror" decade, and also was easily one of the most popular games to come out of the 00s. --- "Oh, you think lag is your ally.

This one's hard... I'm gonna go with:
Halo (It kickstarted Microsoft as a console/game developer) World of Warcraft (First MMO to 10 million active players) Counter-Strike 1.6 (Probably the first "e-sport" with massive cash prices esp. in Europe) Starcraft: Brood War (The perfectioning of the RTS genre and the first actual e-sport in Asia) The Witcher (Storytelling and characterization taken to new limits. A gamechanger among western RPGs) Tekken (To me, it's the game that made all the other fighting games step up and improve to match it) I'm not looking at release dates, but mostly at the moment that they peaked and where they had the most significance. --- The side of the fence that we climb determines who's afraid ...

For example, one could argue for the 90s: Not really, no. For starters, SM64 was much more significant than SMW (which, at best, improved upon elements of SMB3). And Goldeneye probably had a bigger impact than OoT, since it popularized an entire genre on home consoles. It arguably did more for FPSes than FF7 did for JRPGs. Plus you're missing fucking Pokemon, one of the biggest gaming phenomenon while ushering in a lot of clones and cash-ins. But hey, I guess there wasn't enough room for the biggest RPG of the 1990s on your list because you had to fit in Resident Evil and Doom. Who cares that Pokemon RB was the ninth best-selling game of all time despite having never been a pack-in with a system? Gotta make space for games that didn't even top50! BigOlePappy posted... To further define, by defining the decade I mean that these games were embodiments or progenitors of major trends, "era-creating" innovations, or the "spirit" of the era. Which just makes it stranger that you'd omit things like Goldeneye and Pokemon RB. BigOlePappy posted... Halo Halo maybe, but is GTA3 big enough especially when Vice did more to set the tone? idk, the 00s had a lot of quality, but it had fewer standout titles. COD:MW should rank. WoW probably belongs on there. (Conversely, you *might* consider EverQuest for the 90s since it helped get the MMO ball rolling, but really it was WoW that made MMOs a household name despite coming out relatively late into the trend.) --- (\/)(\/)|-| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. ...

Tekken came out in the early-to-mid nineties, and Tekken Tag (its "breakthrough entry) came out in the late nineties. That said, I do not think it, or 3D fighters in general, ever became as popular as their 2D counterparts (Street Fighter, KoF, Mortal Kombat, Versus series, etc) --- "Oh, you think lag is your ally.

Halo
GTA 3 Warcraft 3 World of Warcraft Super Smash Bros Melee Morrowind I think Halo and GTA 3 are great picks because they really did usher in a new era of gaming. I say that despite the fact that I never really cared for Halo. WoW both popularized and destroyed the MMO genre, so it definitely belongs there. I am also of the opinion that WoW is the largest contributor to gaming going from a niche nerd hobby to becoming acceptable in the mainstream. The other picks I feel are a bit more dicey. WC3 was kind of the king of RTS games in it's time and it birthed DotA, which is extremely notable. I picked Melee because I think it was the only Nintendo game that had mainstream appeal. I also don't know if it's because of where I live, but it's the only fighting game that I ever seemed to hear people talk about. Melee was instrumental in turning SSB into a system-selling series as well. Morrowind began the popularization of massive open-world RPGs. I don't know what else to say beyond that unfortunately, so perhaps that's the weakest fit. I think the common theme among 2000s games though is the shift from niche hobby to mainstream. --- Miami Dolphins | Portland Trailblazers | San Francisco Giants I won't say a thing, because the one who knows best is you. ...

1) San Andreas (Casual missions, driving and killing people with guns just for the fun of it)
2) CoD 4 (Huge multiplayer game, my personal favorite is BO2 though) 3) Minecraft (Although it became massive in the post 2010 era, I'd still consider it a 00s game) 4) Mario Kart (And casual Wii stuff in general) 5) Oblivion (One of the major reason why open world genre became so popular) 6) WoW/LoL (Oh yeah multiplayer was the biggest thing of 00s for gaming) Honorable mention - Although not as big as RBY/GSC, Pokemon's numbers and success is hard to ignore. --- I say appreciate the life you have, because it can always be worse ...

I definitely agree with the first two. Wii Sports has to be there, as it's the best selling console game ever (even if it's a packaged game). Obviously WoW, maybe Oblivion. I guess the last spot would be Guitar Hero or Sims.

"Also, OOT was a better fit for 3D genre game, but SM64 could have worked too." If you're trying to claim it was a 3D platformer, it really wasn't.

GTA:VC Halo 2 God of War WoW Oblivion Wii Sports (mostly for embodying the motion control fad) Because if SMB3 is being ignored in favor of SMW, there's a much stronger case for ignoring GTAIII in favor of GTA:VC and Halo in favor of Halo 2.
