More than Half-Life 2 and Halo 2? More than WoW? (Gaming)

To say nothing of the games themselves,
Halo 2 essentially single handedly created modern online console FPSs, and Half-Life 2 pioneered a lot of tech we have been seeing in games since, from HDR to weird subsurface scattering on peoples' faces, to guns made to manipulate physics. WoW, more than games like Everquest, brought MMORPGs to the mainstream. My MOM knows what WoW is, and she doesn't know the difference between Sony and Nintendo.
These games introduced these things to the public and did them so well that the industry was changed.
Sonic and Knuckles wasn't even a very good game, and the thing it introduced to the world was being able to play Sonic 2 with a new character...which admittedly is very cool.
