    So ... who else should be there then?

    Why is a forgettable and terribly average game like Halo getting inducted? Do people form their own opinions now, or is everyone ruled by hype .

    Because not every one shares the same feelings you do.

    Well I agree that its a good game, but there's other FPS out there that have done more for the industry. And there's no way it should have been the first game inducted...there's way to many in front of it.

    IMO of course

    exactly. of ALL the AWESOME genre setting games out there they picked a mediocre FPS that brings NOTHING TO THE TABLE! I think the basis should be on what the game did for the game industry, not "whichever game is more popular at the moment and pushes the most copies".

    I can only see this ending up much like the SpikeTV Video Game awards.

    I can think of an almost infinite list of icons that should have been inducted before anything to do with Halo, but it makes sense due to the current state of the industry and who voted. It is like N'Sync getting into the Rock 'N Roll Hall of Fame, which, though totally ridiculous, will also probably happen. Don't get me wrong, I like Halo a great deal (I am currently on the third novel even), but it is pretty insignificant in the whole scheme of things. XBox is hardly an incredible success. If anything, it is a bit of a scratch on the credibility of this enterprise, and an insult to Bushnell & Miyamoto.

    I think they did the right thing making it based on popular characters/games as opposed to "genre setting" or "life changing" games. A walk based on a games influence would become a tedious bitch fest.. sort of like the blase "halo sucks" debate.

    I never said Halo sucked, I just say that it's a very average game.
