Video Games That Have Changed the Future of Gaming
Video games have come a long way in the last decade or so, especially in just the last couple of years. Each game has a unique element that has shaped the way we program, design, and eventually play and experience. Video game technology and storytelling are continuously pushing the boundaries. But are there any games or pieces of technology that have revolutionized the industry beyond ever looking back?
