Top 10 sports games
Simply my ten favorite sport games of all time!
Simply my ten favorite sport games of all time!
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater opened my eyes to skateboarding, and some of the biggest name of the sport. Skate 3 managed to get me to start skateboarding for real! Well... At least trying to skate in real life, but truth be told, most of the time I just fall in real life. And it's not as fun as bailing in the game!
My first experience with a skateboarding-game was with the first Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, and I played that game A LOT! It wasn't until Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 that I actually started getting good at skateboarding games. And I can still remember playing THPS2 with my cousin on his Dreamcast, seeing who could get the biggest combo on the school-level.
Used to play this game A LOT with my cousin back in the days. It's just impossible to dislike the over the top-action that this game has to offer! BOOM SHAKALAKA!
I had played some old-school baseball-games like RBI before playing MVP Baseball 2005. But it wasn't until MVP 2005 that I actually started to learn about the rules of the sport, and got hooked! Since baseball isn't a mainstream sport in Sweden, games were the only source for my baseball needs. And I've been hooked ever since. This game was the only reason I bought a Logitech Dual action gamepad since I couldn't stand the keyboard controls for sliding.
The first hockey-game I ever played! And I still feel like the rules for fighting in real life should mimic this game. Winner stays on the ice!
The first game I got for my SNES! And it also happens to be one of my all time favorite boxing-games, even though one could argue if it's actually a "real" boxing-game. As a kid I remember not being able to beat Super Machoman. And truth be told, I haven't tried since then out of fear of getting my ass handed to me by this game once again...
