So, I see everyone is rather angry, asking why not this game, or that game. I've had a thought about this, and I believe that the games picked for the first round of Hall Of Fame inductees are perfectly thought out.
You see, here is my train of thought:
We are thinking of this from a gamers perspective, and gaming quality is an all too subjective thing. People like different types of games, and feels very strongly about their favourite or best or most influential game to be added to something like a Hall Of Fame list. But, thinking about it more carefully, a game that should get this honor should be a game that transcends over cultural and social boundaries. It should be games that has done the most for gaming. Not just from a pure gaming perspective, but a cultural perspective as well. The games in this current list is undeniably legends in their own regards, and these games has probably been more influential in areas other than gaming. These factors are taken into consideration I believe when choosing games for the Hall Of Fame.
