The 4 new games added are:
  • Angry Birds
  • Dragon Quest
  • Fifa International Soccer
  • Silent Hill

Pretty solid list. The fact the DQ is only now being added led me to looking up what made it previous years cause it is such an important game in gaming history.

Honestly, some of their choices in past years are kinda.... strange. Especially when considering things that aren't in the hall of fame yet.

Like how did Madden Football make it in before FIFA? This is supposed to be the "World Video Game Hall of Fame". Does anyone outside of USA even care about American football? A quick google search also tells me that FIFA has sold about 3x what Madden has.... Heck, apparently NBA2K also outsells Madden. So why madden at all?

Anyways I thought it was a pretty neat tid-bit of news to share. Can't really argue with these 4 games being added imo. Looking into previous years has led me with some headscratchers though lol
