Blizzard Entertainment has announced the opening of beta registrations for “World of Warcraft: The War Within,” inviting players to explore new subterranean worlds beneath Azeroth.
Danish from eXputer: "Despite Blizzard's attempt to give a fresh new spin to World of Warcraft, some fans still seem to be stuck in the past."
HG writes: "Blizzard is usually pretty bad at keeping secrets, but the company somehow managed to keep this one under wraps until now. Plunderstorm is a special limited-time event that’s basically World of Warcraft’s take on the Battle Royale genre."
All of the games mentioned throughout this article had an impact on this industry without a doubt!
this is my opinion
FPS-HALO,counter strike
J/W RPG-The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time
Racing-(Sim Gran Turismo) (arcade mario kart)
MMO-world of warcraft
RTS- StarCraft
Action Adventure- GTA 3,and mario
Honorable mention - call of duty 4 and beyond yes not all people like the game (including me) but you can not disagree that call of duty is the largest video game out their and a lot of video game company's are trying to make clones or making comparisons to their game to call of duty. many are trying to take down call of duty down but it's a Juggernaut much bigger than Mario.
FPS- Counter-Strike
RPG- Ocarina of Time
Racing- NFS Most wanted
MMO-WOW
