decent enough list. Games around now also worth a mention for interestingness - crayon physics deluxe (first game to get my wife interested ever); the witcher (just for mood.. truly great... so often forgotten, but moving to consoles soon I think); holding my breath for empire total war, as everyone of those total war games are awesome, should be featured in university courses
Man, I HATED MGS4. Absolutely hated it. Maybe it's just cause I found the story insipid and the damn game MADE me pay attention to it. I also found the storytelling just BAD. Stuff happened, and you did stuff but had no idea why, and then later someone would explain what happened. The hour long ending was basically explaining all the shit that happened; it was an hour of posthumanous exposition. Awful.
Also, PRESS X TO SEE ART
And of course Paul isn't gonna put his own game on the list.
That game owes NOTHING to Fallout 1 + 2, which are the best RPGs ever made. They just added guns to Oblivion and the characters are as equally flat. It owes 1000000x more to Oblivion than Fallout 1 and 2, and Oblivion wasn't good either.
During the Heavy Metal event, it was actually incredibly easy to 'earn' playing the classes early. If its as easy this time, anyone that currently plays gets to play a Slayer/Choppa at the same time, while holding off the potential influx of resubscribers/new customers to a week later, at which point people will have leveled into Tier 2 or gone back to their main characters, and spreads out the population. Its a logistics issue really, and a smart choice.
Mirror's edge: I'd be interested to know what you think was especially new about it? If its how they used movement then I would point to (more recently) Assassin's Creed, but also (and with far less linear/tied down movement systems) Tribes and Quake strafejumping in the past. Both those titles used movement (unintentionally as it happened) to great effect, creating a very different sort of gameplay to other FPS titles.
I agree with Left 4 dead certainly, and would point to portal as well.
