Game Changers

 Over the years there have been games that have done things, so well or so different from the mainstream that they shook the gaming world to its core. Over the years these games have had clones, spin offs, sequels and much more. These games have inspired gamers, and game developers alike to try new things and reach for things in gaming that have never been done before.

 Many of these games have shook the gaming industry to its core. These games have made the gamer actually think about repercussions in the game that may adversely effect the character. These games broke the mold of what genres of games there are. Among many other things, such as graphics, story, character development, and setting.

 The way I see it a video game is an interactive book. Something that you can actually feel in a sense. Many of these games could also go on a list of the greatest games ever made. Or a top ten list.

Here is a list of games that I think were game changers.
1. Street Fighter and Street Fighter 2 (It was one of the first console fighting game)
2. Metal Gear Solid. (One of the first Stealth action games)
3. Wolfenstein 3D (The pioneer of the FPS)
4. Grand Theft Auto 3 (One of the first open world sandbox games)
5. Super Mario Bros. (The Nintendo juggernaught)
6. Sid Meier's Civilization (The RTS)
7. Gears of War (Gritty game play and an amazing cover system)
8. Shenmue (What can I say...)
9. Metroid (First female action hero)
10. League of Legends or LoL (The Moba for the masses)
11. Minecraft (You can build anything)
12. Diablo (The game that made the Action RPG what it is today)
13. Halo 2 (Console gaming online)
14. Tomb Raider (Female, third-person shooter)
15. Final Fantasy 7 (Put the JRPG in western markets)
16. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (Modern day shooter when everyone else was making WW2 games still)

17.StarCraft (Three races)
18.Tetris (The handheld beast)
19.World of Warcraft or WoW (The MMO for the masses)
20. Spacewar! (The first video game)

 Now mind you these games don't go in any specific order. Nor are these games picked by critics. These are all my personal opinion. Seeing how these twenty games have changed the industry and reshaped what we think about video games. I can't wait to see what games will do next. (Also I had to cut out some of my favorite games to keep this list at twenty. So don't freak out that Half-Life isn't on this list. I know there are thousands of other games that have helped reshape the industry these are just the first twenty that came to me of the top of my head.)
