Hmm... not entirely convinced.

About which ones?

Most of the shooters... Doom ... Quake... can't even tell them apart... :)

Doom is a shooter with monsters.

Quake is a shooter with monsters.

Big difference.

Anyway, in terms of legendary.. I miss games like Larry, I miss Warcraft 2 which predates Starcraft and I miss Transport Tycoon as an actual playable and genius alternative to Sim City.
How was Unreal Tournament not revolutionary to the online gaming experience and why has Tetris not mentioned as well as Pac Man and Pong?
Even games like Black&White were more revolutionary than the fact that they used both Quake and Doom in the same top 10..

But nice list nonetheless..

Commander Keen to the rescue! Playing Arkanoid on his Rolex.

Did I mention Stunts?

Lemmings? Duke Nukem? Need for Speed? World of warcraft itself? Quake 3 Arena for crying out loud! And what about GTA?

ah well, a top 10 is only so limited by a fixed number...

Tiel, I'm still playing Transport Tycoon (Open Transport Tycoon Deluxe) on my linux boot
(Sometimes with my son, he insists on me building as many railroad crossings as I can)

Tetris! How could they have missed that...

I really liked the original DeusEx, but it might not have been that revolutionary in the system of the world. But what they seem to be looking for were revolutionary changes, but most advances are more evolutionary, improvements over what has been there before.

Recently played openTTD as well Amazing how you need a 10x faster system these days to run it as smooth as back in the days
of course now you have bigger maps and everything, but back then it ran fine on 4MB RAM and 33mhz.
Chris Sawyer progammed it almost completely in pure assembler and completely by himself, which I think is a very very impressive achievement. Nowadays they don't take optimization and uber performance so narrow. The biggest example of performance failure of a 10+ year project is Duke Nukem forever of course Man, did they screw that up..
