No one would say that HL2 wasn't an important or foundational game. Just because something did it first doesn't mean the ones that copied them didn't do it better. The title of the list is ambiguous to drive this kind of traffic, but I think most people would think they meant "best" games not "most important" games.
Of course it doesn't mean that games that came after wasn´t an improvement over HL2, it would be kinda sad if it wasn´t.
So does it mean HL2 suddenly is a worse game of course not, before HL2 no one did what HL2 did , and therefore you need to judge HL2 as a game on what was before not what came after.
Its like criticizing Wright or Ford for not being a 747 or a Audi A8.
No it's not, that's rediculous. It's more like saying a Audi A8 is a better car than a Model T, which it absolutely without question is.
Now you are just talking nonsense. It doesnt make any sense to compare HL1/2 to any new game that has come out a decade after.
In fact even tho its true that lets say Bioshock is a better game, its just idiotic to mention it if your talking about HL1-2 , you can compare it to games that game out at the same time or shortly after since the tech and advance would still be pretty much the same.
In that case then Wolfenstein 3D is the best shooter because it kick started the whole genre into the public eye. No other shooter has been as influential.
