My opinion on the likely trajectory of dominant narrative art forms is roughly:  19th century literature -> 20th century film -> 21st century video games

If you are skeptical, talk to people born in the mid-90's and later about their favorite films and then their favorite video games. Then judge which was discussed with more fervent enthusiasm. Over a large enough sample size, I think the preference for games over films will be obvious.

That said I think making such a top games list is likely a fool's errand at this stage of the medium. Imagine someone making a top 1,000 films list in, say, 1935 and comparing it to one today. I am willing to bet that if I lived until 2100 and continued seeing films at my current rate at least half my top 1,000 films/TV (the list for this year is available on my page) would remain in place, I would bet that this games list would become unrecognizable. 

My sample size for this endeavor is roughly 4,539 video games played that I have recorded a rating for, though only 3,561 of these are in IMDb's database. This does mean there are roughly 78 candidates for this list that are not on IMDb and at least 2 that would make my top 100 almost certainly if they were on the site.
