I kind of disagree with what you're saying. The games are in mostly chronological order. They are in the order of (for PC games) mainframe games > "Golden Era" games > Interplay, which straddles the "Golden Era" and the late 1990s > the Diablo series, which straddles the late 1990s and early 2000s > new millenium (in general) > and Bethesda, whose recent blockbuster titles are given greatest coverage. If readers are confused regarding the dates, they can just look inside the parentheses (19xx) next to each game. As for the console titles, I think they should be handled separately, as there was not a lot of cross-pollination, and most sources do as well. My 2 cents.   Talk
