GCHD has just released their list of defining moments in console history ranging from 1972-2008. This comprehensive article covers everything from the great video game crash of 1983 to the recent console wars of this generation. It also covers a few miscellaneous titles such as Adventure on the Atari 2600 and the importance of Nintendo's Game and Watch series. Definitely a must read for anyone looking to brush up on their video game history.

GCHD Writes: "In the last couple of years the video game industry has successfully captured the flag of the retail industry by surpassing the Box Office in profits. Once considered a simple pass time, video games have bypassed the taboo of other toys of youth and has found itself in the heart of modern consumer culture. And while many gamers claim that the medium is becoming too 'main-stream', one cannot argue the powerhouse that the industry has become. Here at GCHD, we have decided to look back at the rich lands left behind, and find the moments that truly define the legacy of the home console."

    Yeah, liked the article a lot. I do feel that Metal Gear Solid and Gran Turismo should be on the list. They made some serious contributions to gaming. Even games like Tomb Raider and Maniac Mansion on the NES. Way too many to name in one article I guess. Keep up the good work.
