I pretty much agree with their list, although, I'm not sure I would have put Xbox Live and Online gaming in separate categories.

Mature Games? Really?

 

Xbox Live as of the Xbox era, meh. XBL as of the 360, yes I'd call that a milestone....if I also choose to ignore Steam.

 

Citing Online Gameplay as being a shift of the last decade is pretty misleading as well. People were playing Doom online Deathmatch and co-op back when it released, and it was replaced by the Quake series (which still has players today). It wasn't particularly archaic or unfathomable at the time either, it was just on PCs and GT is so very biased against PCs (ala number 1, which I actually agree with) they play off online as being barely possible until consoles began to do it more PC like (since they did have some pretty wacky multiplayer attempts on the SNES/Megadrive).

I think they probably meant home console/accessible to the masses online gaming. Back in the doom days even dial up internet was expensive and I remember as soon as I got dial up to try my hand at Doom death matches and could never get it working. May just have been me of course.

 

But you have to admit, in the last decade, it's pretty much become common knowledge and easily accessible to play games over the internet. And considering the time dreamcast was released, a decade sounds about right.

Ya I've been arguing this list over with people on other forums. I think it's a pretty fair list. maybe you could argue the order but it's pretty fair.

I would recommend pointing out the latest invisible walls episode to anyone who's really against the list. They justify some of the more contriversial entries.
