Forum:Fallout Represented in Smithsonian

A couple weeks back, the Smithsonian opened a vote for the most influential Video games in its reasonably short span that they've been about. Amongst the games represented were a few those of us here find rather dear to our hearts; and they did well.

For Era 4: Transition, which was the 90s, Fallout went up against Baldurs Gate 2: Shadows of Amn, and some game called Grim Fandango; I thought it'd be a close run, between Fallout and Baldur's Gate, but it seems Fallout is definitely the more influential.

Then, a little further down the list, one of my personal favorites, Bioshock, beat out Halo 3 and Gears of War 2 for most influential 360 Action game.

And finally, the biggest success was in the modern PC division where Fallout 3 dispatched both Knights of the Old Republic and... drum roll... World of Warcraft.

To me, that's a big accomplishment for these games, pushing one of the most time consuming games to the side.

Course, to ME, WoW didn't stand a chance.
