Most of the time, though, that kind of recognition arrives with hindsight.įor the last console generation, the best example is Epic's Gears of War, a game that pretty much everybody agreed was fun and visually spectacular when it launched, but many cooled on due to the muscular dude-bros at the heart of its story.
Very occasionally, it's possible to see that a game is important or influential before it is released.
