This was a good list until I saw Kinect Adventures on it. C'mon now! Actually, the last three were really lame (Kinect Adventures, Wii Sports and Farmville?). Remove them and just call it 11 Games That Changed The World.

"Kinect Adventures"

Major fail pick. Kinect Adventures didn't change anything.

As much as i agree with you Wii sports should stay on that list as it brought motion control to the mainstream, its one of the main reasons the wii is a success. Kinect adventures is just doing the same it shouldn't be on the list because of it. Shemnue and pacman should be on the list and the original super mario bros and Zelda.

Replace MGS with Thief, FF7 with CT, and halo with HL. Other than that, fair enough.

Kinect adventures??? lol wtf? what about Half-life, CoD deserves to be there also.

bananlol5659d ago (Edited 5659d ago )

go half-life:D The soviets made tetris? Guess ive underestimated them...

NecrumSlavery5659d ago (Edited 5659d ago )

This was a really rocking list until frickin' Kinect Adventures. Replace that sh*t with Half Life 1 & 2.

They're right about Tomb Raider champion a female lead, but it's also one of the first third person action adventure puzzle solving games. It paved the way for such games as Sands of Time. God of War. Remember in 96 it was Mario64 and Tomb Raider. They stood alone. There were no other games like that unless you count Bubsy 3D and that game was sad. lol.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing24d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit24d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing24d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9224d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
