I would vote for Shenmue on the Dreamcast - First game to include that kind of scope of interactivity and to include the depth of real life simulation it achieves (for example days passing when not played, taking time and date from the console and becoming night when it was night time meaning certain shops, parts of the game etc. were accesible). The series is unfinished and you will probably struggle to get a copy of it, but still a mile stone of detail not even approached by GTA4.

Baldur's Gate 2 and Westwood's Dune 2000.

Not at all if any then you realy should play Planescape Torment (beter in party interaction and a much more well planed and original aproach to the storyline) or Fallout on excample of what CRPG can and SHOULD aim to be (and pass!).

No, the combat is flawed compared to today's standards. Really flawed.

you forgot something... no mmorpg on your list!!! lol

I have to agree with a lot of what you say here, though I must admit my general ignorance of a lot of console stuff/older games doesn't help.
You cover a lot of the genres well, but the conspicuous absentee has to be the RTS genre. There were definitely some watershed moments there that then bled into other games, even into other genres.
Also, you are highly focused on single player titles, is this because you think not much has changed in the online space since doom?

I think if what you're going for is a well-rounded list with titles that most people would recognize then this is a very good list. It's a pretty good list even if that's not what you're going for.

Wii sports I don't agree with so much. While it is true that they were the first to involve active movement, there isn't a ton of movement, plus all of the game ideas were simply borrowed. Fairly radical, but not really.

Baldur's Gate 2: Shadows of Amn.
Best game ever made and very very important if you want to do an RPG.
