BeefJack writes, "Apparently EA has a scheme that trains current staff to be creative directors, which is no bad thing at all, but has been a bit of an inspiration. You see, part of their course is the following question:
What games do you think people should, at the very least, look at as seminal in the mediums history?
It's an interesting question, and can lead to an interesting list as they are not looking for critically acclaimed titles or the most popular, just ones that did something interesting for the industry.
Now let's face it, everyone has an opinion, and that is no bad thing, so we here at BeefJack have put together a list of titles that we think you should play, if only for an hour, just to see what they did for our beloved medium. These games can all be considered major points on the road map of video gaming, and though your opinion may be that they suck or they are part of a genre you simply do not like, at least appreciate what they did for the medium.
So here are ten games you should, most definitely, play. They are in no particular order..."
Capcom has announced that Resident Evil 4 remake sales are now at over 7 million units, Street Fighter 6 is at 3.3 million and more.
Blizzard Entertainment has announced the opening of beta registrations for “World of Warcraft: The War Within,” inviting players to explore new subterranean worlds beneath Azeroth.
Danish from eXputer: "Despite Blizzard's attempt to give a fresh new spin to World of Warcraft, some fans still seem to be stuck in the past."
the game that never get old and will never get old
gameplay is pure golden and the graphics are well....AMAZING(not kiddin)
Who else thinks that they should have mentioned Super Metroid instead of Prime?
And Halo? Are freaking kidding me? So many great FPS out there and they say Halo? Wow.
Out of all these games I have not played Doom or Shadow of the Colossus, I think I'll be buying Shadow of the Colossus sometime in the future though (Hopefully)
Super mario world on on the snes....good times. Thankfully i still have it and my snes =P
Of all those games on the list I'm pretty sure maybe only World of Warcraft and Mario deserve to be on it.
WoW created the MMORPG model that's garnered 11,000,000 subscribers and created the architecture that every MMO has since tried to copy.
And Mario? Well -it's Mario.
Seriously. Command and Conquer? It may have come first, but Starcraft absolutely blew it away. There's a reason why people still play Starcraft professionally.
