Favorite sports game would have to be the NBA Street games. |

I am your stereotypical geek in the fact that I'm just not into traditional sports, on any level. So I don't have any of those games. But I do have a little less "pure" sports games in my collection. I love the Tony Hawk Pro Skater series, even though I suck at skateboarding in real life. Tons of fun to just go around and try new stuff while exploring. And usually the rock side of the soundtracks on these games are great (not into hip-hop, though). For the same reasons, I have the Cool Boarders snowboarding series, as well. Being a wrestling fan, I of course like a good wrestling games. The WWE 2K series (which later became just a year-by-year series) since 2012 have been great. I love playing through the story modes on those, since I've been a wrestling fan for a long time and those are usually nostalgic. And a good arcade racer can be fun. Not my top favorite genre, but if it's done right I can get into them. I'm just not into the technical, more car-guy type racers, though. I want something like RC Pro-Am that's just mindless video game fun, or an arcade racer like Ridge Racer or Daytona USA where I can just pick a car and go. Also the ones that incorporate battle-elements, like Road Rash or Arctic Thunder. Gran Turismo is just not my bag, baby. |

Gran Turismo is just not my bag, baby. --- End quote --- I love the gran Turismo series but the licence thing is the hardest part in the entire game. and on gran turismo 4 it has really frustrated me, on this one licence course where you must turn a sharp corner while going downhill and cannot let any part of your car go off the track or you have to do the entire course over perfectly and in a time sequence that has me frigging pissed. AND if you don't past that darn course your stuck earning 500 credits for winning a race every time and less for not placing in 1st place. and upgrading a single component of your race car in GT 4 cost at least 2000 credit for only one small no effect upgrade taking. GT 2 is rare but I love that game and recommend everyone even if you don't like the gran turismo series to get Gran Turismo 2 for the PlayStation 1. and it is best played on your PS3 where you can have a TON of cars on a digital memory PS3 quota without ever having to swap PS1 memory cards unlike when using a PlayStation 1 or PlayStation 2 when playing a PS1 game. All you sports fans take note a PS3 is a must have for your PlayStation 1 sports games seasons. With any PlayStation 3 you can create multiple seasons on PS1 memory and never have to use a PS memory card again. I have a former 250 gig super slim and it rocks with PS3 and PS1 games of all sorts ;D. |

Never really been into the genre myself outside of some of the arcade-style ones (like the Mario versions). I'm just not a sports guy, so there was little incentive to play them. And from a collecting standpoint, I like them even less simply because there's just so many of them. I'm aiming for a complete 360 NTSC collection, and out of the ~550 titles I've got left to get, about half of them are sports games. Still, I'm not gonna fault anyone for liking them. They're just not my cup of tea, and I'm sure some of the folks who enjoy sports titles would say the same about the games I like. |

I traditionally am not a fan of the genre, but I have enjoyed various hockey games over the years (NHL 97, NHL 2001, NHL 2007, NHL2K, Wayne Gretzky's 3D Hocky). Aside from that the only non-NHL games I've ever enjoyed was NFL Blitz. If you can count games like Tony Hawk Pro Skater and 1080 Snowboarding, then yeah, those too. |
