It's not a bad list, just void for a lack of Freespace (2).

I would add Elite to the 1980's. That was a classic for sure.

I'll plug a book thread here:

No Zelda 3? I assumed that they left it out since they included the first one, but Mario popped up multiple times.

Shenanigans.

I'm glad that Grim Fandango made the list.

I'm not glad that Baldur's Gate didn't.

There's no Fallout on this list, it's clearly incomplete.

No Mass Effect or Assassin's Creed 2?

Also, wouldn't Halo 2 be a better fit than CE on there? It was far more revolutionary because of the inclusion of Xbox Live than the first.
