yeah, SoTN is definitely a favorites pick more so than anything else. love it but no place here.

Final Fantasy VII
Metal Gear Solid
Tomb Raider
Resident Evil

boring first two.
Tomb Raider was huge at the time and PS1 was the main place it sold. big enough for it to have a movie 5 years after release with Angelina Jolie in her prime. only argument against it is that PC existed as a reasonable 2nd pick.
Resident Evil kinda dwarfs all the other options at this time. RE also has the same movie situation, only 6 years later. that by itself proves that RE4 wasn't the needle mover since the game came out 3 years later. but for the game itself, its importance early on was proving CDs as a medium and 3D graphics, both of which made the N64 and Saturn look inferior consoles at the start of that war. like Crash is a mascot but wasn't as big a deal as those two series with any game, Gran Turismo honestly should've won PS2 but not here, where we have a lot of new games and genres existing and it just... kinda gets lost in the shuffle.

weirdly boring options.
