I had just beaten my friend in a screw off match and was wishing I knew a fatality. I was playing as scorpion. With nothing better to try I intup the universal Konami code Up up down down left right left right B A B A start in. I ripped out his spine with that move. now THAT was memorable.
Games that make history bring something new into the genre. If the first Alone in the Dark hadn't been invented...Resident Evil, Silent Hill would've not been there for a while. They are all of the survival horror genre. AitD started it all. Which is why it made history.
Doom also starts shooting with lotsa gore.

I am well aware, but when you're trying to have a serious discussion with a global so you DON'T get banned....

You can't ban someone for having a sense of humor, or cracking a joke here and then. That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard; and I'm sure talking about videogames is a real "serious discussion."
Like I said if you really want to ban me than do it, because apparently the moderators on this site don't like to play by the rules. (which by the way is the nicest way of phrasing that statement)
*gasps*
BackFire, dave, you hear what he just said? He just dissed the entire moderator team!

Now to get serious...
Sting, you can either go on like this or get a ban, or be nice. Or you can leave. Up to you. Everybody wins! 😄

Better graphics then doom and MK? Too hell you say! Doom and MK was made about 10 years before Halo, of course it has better graphics. What a stupid argument. Comparing Halo to games a decade older then halo, and say "well halo has better graphics and AI then these decade old games, thus it's a more historical game" is blatantly stupid and invalid. You have to look at games made at the same time if you're going to compare.

Oh I'm sorry to start the argument in the first place Backfire.
Games that made history
wlfentsien 3d- first fps
doom-first truly awesome fps, also first game where mods were used
half-life-great storyline, awesome graphics+combat
gta-first free-roaming game (i think)
sims- very original game. first of its kind
halo technically made history, but there was nothing new or unique aabout it. it was just the first big game on the xbox. its good, but not as good asppl make it sound

It was the biggest darn thing of its era! It had 10000 screens back in the days when the amount of screens a game has was counted and when 100 was considered very large! People wrote into games magazines writing short stories or even novels of their experiences playing the game. Damn right I am still addicted to it!
"Warcraft - RTS created (or replace with C&C if done before)"
Replace with Dune II, you mean. The Westwood/BLizzard RTS foundation race went, in order:
Dune II/Warcraft/C&C/Warcraft II/Red Alert/Starcraft
And then it gets more vague. Warcraft was a total rip off of Dune II, highly enjoyable as it was (and no bad thing- some of the greatest games of all time have been rip-offs); things got more distinct after that. But Dune II gets the innovation award.

You can't argue with this Resident Evil. It made survival horror.
No it didn't, Alone in the Dark did. Resident Evil span out from AitD's success. Not that that makes Resident Evil either bad or not a game that made history, but survival horror was already an established franchise.
EDIT- oops, I see someone already said that. Apologies!
