If Gaming Was A Degree...

If you could get a degree in gaming,what would be the games that you would have to play and understand to complete the course and why?

If you ask me, they'd have to battle through:

Super Mario 64- arguably the first game to break into the third dimension
Half Life 1 or 2- showing how well a story can be told in an FPS
Okami- fuel for the "are games art" debate
Nintendogs- the game that kicked off the casual gaming trend (this was released before the Wii, so no Wii Sports)
Goldeneye- one of the best FPSes of all time (though I think Perfect Dark on the N64 was a better game)
Final Fantasy VII- a game that rabid fans will dress up and buy merchandise from until the end of time

There would have to be different sections of the course I think. Retro, The Middle and Modern. Probably with one type of game in each category. Types of game would have to include Platformers, Beat em Ups, FPS, TPS, RPG, Action/Adventure. Other types would have to be introduced for different categories like Rhythm (for games like GH), Simulation, Casual, Quiz/Knowlege, 2 & 1/2D (Games like Trials HD, they're 3D on a 2D control system).

I would have a Masters in First Person Shooters.

If there was a gaming degree, and you got one, you'd be even more likely to work at Starbucks than if you got a Lit degree.

Classes would have to be longer than an hour and a half. Just not enough time to "study" the matter :P

I wouldn't have to complete the course. I'd get a Professor's nomination in an eye blink :P
