I think this is the poorest list I've seen IGN put together. The overall order just seems very jumbled and titles seem thrown in haphazardly.

As for Half Life 2 innovating, the engine was innovating. I don't know that the game itself was. Frankly, the beta that 'leaked' beforehand felt more innovative than the final product. It had this physics gun (not the gravity gun) with a very intuitive welding/construction functionality. And many of the physics variables were a lot more configurable. Garry's Mod is cool, and has many similar functions, but in terms of one tool that was cool and did a ton of stuff, that old physics gun was amazing.
