    Truth be told, they all fit into the categories in their own way. Love or hate any of these games, you cannot deny they have a cemented legacy in gaming one way or another.

    Why tf is Angry Birds even being considered? All you do is launch stuff at other stuff. There is nothing original about it whatsoever. It is pretty much the definition of a fad. It's designed to pass time, like everything else on phones. That's it. There are no redeeming qualities that give it the right to be on the list.

    I fucking hate that they don't include the sources to what their talking about in the description. they include all their links… but not what they're talking about. So annoying. And yes, I understand I can google search what they're talking about… but I feel like they aren't giving credit to the articles.

    But seriously, Pong will probably win. After all, it is pretty much the first arcade game…

    excuse me, but did you say Angry Birds and Fifa!? WTF!? Where is Mega Man!? Donkey Kong!? Heck! Pole Position! Where is that? Pole Position basically established the racing genre. Mega Man is awesome and has a much greater story than Angry Birds. Does Angry Birds even have a story/universe really? And Donkey Kong is kinda what put Nintendo on the map here in America.

    world of warcraft also has one of the strongest cases being that every one knows about it and at least a ten thousand people in every country plays it

    No Halo CE? It literally shaped modern shooters and popularized Multilayer for consoles. I feel like that's pretty influential.

    Most influential five in my opinion:
    1. Mario Bros (if this isn't the first inductee i'll be pissed)
    2. Pac Man (first video game character ever)
    3. Zelda (first open world game)
    4. DOOM (started the FPS genre)
    5. Sonic (First fast paced game)

    Whoever votes angry birds should be shot.
