How the **** do they have Oblivion and not Morrowind?
The list seems light on MMO's.

Fallout series?
Star Fox, Mario Kart
And Portal was a good gimmick, not a great game. It lasted around 3 hours.

Overall, I think it's a good list...but
Battlefield 1942 and Medal of Honor should be listed for the 90's. Without those games, Call of Duty wouldn't exist.
The "list" for the 2010's is dumbass. Where is Skyrim?

No Crysis
Portal was a pretty revolutionary gimmick, though. It was a quantum leap in puzzle gaming. Don't blow it off so easily. The length of a game is not indicative of it's quality.
I think it's faulty for any video game list to include the 2010s when we're only 3 years into it.
It was a good game. But it hasn't influenced anything (unlike the half life's and counter strikes) and on its own isn't anywhere near meaty enough to justify a top 100 berth.
Portal is an evolutionary step in the platforming games, and is revolutionary so in it's aspect as a puzzle game, and it's explicit lack of combat mechanics.
And you may be right in that there haven't been follow-up games based on it. But that's less of the quality of "Portal" and more the difficulty in marketing it.
After all, how many first-person shooter clones are out there right now? The reason why isn't necessarily because they're good games. Rather, it's because people will buy them.
If people bought more puzzle type games, there would be a greater market for them and therefore a greater supply.
But the market for them isn't nearly as large as first-person shooters where people just move around and shoot stuff. Therefore, video game companies don't invest as much money to develop them.
So just because there isn't as big of a market for similar games, I don't think a great game in a certain genre should be under-appreciated because of financial concerns in developing games like it.
I don't know how much it really qualifies as a "video" game but what about Rogue? I'd play that damned ASCII game for hours at a time.
