15 Generation Changing Video Game Moments

Xbox Live

The Console was the console, and the PC was the PC. That was how it was, the natural order of things. One for online StarCraft LAN parties, and one for late night pizza and Mario Kart with the boys. They lived in harmony with each other, but everything changed when Xbox Live hit the scene. Suddenly, it was a simple matter to throw down in Dead or Alive with a friend across the country, or fire a sniper round in Des Moines and have it land in some poor saps head in London. Xbox Live would, for better or worse, change the entire face of Multiplayer gaming.
