I think GTA3 definately deserves a spot, as it's probably the only game in this new generation of consoles that has really affected the direction gaming is going. GTA3 is basically the poster child for spontaneous, free form gameplay, which is really the only innovation consoles have seen lately. Previously, open ended games were generally confined to the PC, and GTA3 proved that this type of game could sell to a console audience, and sell amazingly. Subsequently, we've seen MANY developers attempt to emulate it, but none have surpassed it.
For older games, I give the nod to Super Mario Bros., Super Mario 64, Zelda 1, and Dragon Warrior 1.
