These charts mean nothing of quality.
Look at the music charts. Back in the 70s/80s if any of 'my' music got in the charts I would be gutted
The best stuff is never seen because it is liked by the minority ;D

It looks like most of those games are in some way very different from any other game that has existed in the past. Guitar Hero, Portal, Thief: the dark project are GTA 3 pretty recent examples.

I've played some of those games. I'm actually right now replaying Splinter Cell (1). I bought Deus Ex a few years ago and enjoyed it. I got Chrono trigger for Nintendo DS, and it was a great game. Portal has very cool gameplay.

It seems that in Scriv's scale from one star to two, Battlefield 2 got three.
