Gameranx: "Michael Jones writes about the seven most influential games of the seventh generation."
MW 2019 is five years old at this point and on previous gen hardware, but it is still the best looking Call of Duty game to date.
MW was an excellent videogame. They messed up Spec Ops big time, but aside from this it was a huge step in the right direction initially. Most notably, at launch it seemed to come from a very cohesive creative vision that was felt across gameplay, to story to art style/visual direction. It was also very notably written by prominent ex-Naughty Dog guys that quit almost immediately before release.
That COMPLETELY dissolved through post-launch content and the full pivot to a "cross-mode" narrative that completely obliterated the cohesion in overall story direction. Warzone then "became" the new face of Call of Duty and the franchise completely removed itself from anything remotely creatively "good". It is a pure money machine, so I kinda get why they're doing it....but I personally completely lost interest.
I would love to see Infinity Ward move off CoD and get to make their own product with full control. They clearly have some massive talent in their ranks but it's perverted by Activision's corporate interests.

As the long-rumored Gears of War Collection looks like it may finally materialize on Xbox, the timing could not be better as Gears 6 and movie news swirls.

All jokes aside congratulations to all the gears fans it will be a blast I remember having fun on the first one on my 360 elite till got RROD and quit Xbox all together but that’s a story for another day.
Congratulations 🎊 🍾 🎉 🎈 🎉 🙏
I'm excited for this just aslong is on the pc also cause I don't have the newest xbox console.
Good list if we are talking about 'influence'
I would say Gears of War should be at no.2 considering how many third person cover we have seen this gen...also no Uncharted which I would argue is more influential than the Mass Effect trilogyv(although not as good)
Great to see Braid there as the game that really kick started the indie scene on console
Eeehhh, I dunno about Braid. I can see where some would think so, but I'm iffy at best.
I thought Minecraft might have been on that list, oh well still all great choices
No uncharted is criminal and they should probably add batman AA.
Wii sports was very influential but for the wrong reasons.
Littlebigplanet should be on that list. It was one of the first Play, Share, Create type of game.
Uncharted should be on it too for it's influence on cinematic action sequence and it's story telling.
