Comment: grifter999, I totally agree about Halo 3 being (IMHO) inferior to HalfLife 2 and CoD4. Still the entire point of this article/list wasn't so much about which games are best, but about which games brought some form of innovation that will have a lasting impact on gaming for years to come, and Halo 3's video replay and posting abilities definitely raised the bar in that aspect. Most Important is very different than most fun or best games of the year.

Comment: Personally, I didn't like Halo 3. I'm not a fan of the series. This may come as a shock but I feel disconnected when I play a game like Halo. There are shooters out there that make me feel like I'm a part of the action and that I'm really the person behind the gun and Halo just doesn't do that. The important thing I find in a shooter is that I want to know I'm shooting someone and that there's always a reasction when you shoot whatever it is that you're shooting. The two games that are the best at this in my opinion are half-life 2 (and all the subsequent episodes) and Call of Duty (all of them) which is why I'm surprised that CoD4 isn't in your list.
