Really, really good, in-depth feature, as you'd expect from Gamasutra. Read it! Now!

Despite their explanations for the absence of Morrowind/Oblvion, their absence is still glaringly obvious.

It obviously focuses on older stuff, yeah.

Well, even under those conditions, they still missed Daggerfall and Arena.

And all of the Wizardry games, for that matter.

You're right, Wizardry should have been there.

Oh yeah, and A.P.B. was a cool game... really hard, though, and that was in the arcade WITH a wheel...

Seems like a kind of random list, just like the 'open world' one, but worth reading anyway.
