Top 10: Sports Video Games Of All Time (AskMen)

AskMen has posted their Top 10: Sports Video Games Of All Time.

Quote:
"Achieving realism in video games is always the ultimate task. Well, not so much -- how much realism is there in slaying Warcraft ogres or obliterating alien zombies (although, when the human race is called upon one day to fight these nasties, we'll be ready).

Sports games, however, are the logical choice for pulling ever closer to the realism factor. But, the greatest sports video games are not always that -- and frankly, they don't have to be.

The market is literally saturated with sports titles that range from the ultra-realistic to the incredibly impossible. When shove comes to tackle, some sports video games just rank higher than others on the legendary scale. Here are the 10 sports video games of all time that have made their mark on gaming culture; they're rated based on the impact they had with fans and on the sports video game genre as a whole."

This is a pretty good top ten if you ask me. A good mix of different types of games on the list.

I honestly expected a pretty bad list considering the website. I leave pleasantly surprised.

I agree, the list needed Tecmo Bowl and MVP Baseball 2005. Then it would have been perfect. Not sure what to take off though, maybe Tiger Woods and SSX.

1. Punch Out
2. Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2
3. NHL 94
4. NFL 2k1
5. MLB The Show 09
6. Winning 11 7
7. Tiger Woods 2003
8. NBA Street Vol 2
9. SSX3
10. Madden 05


This list is severely flawed and clearly was made by casual game players. From a person who been playing games since 1983, this is what the top 10 sports of all time should have been.

1. Tecmo Bowl
2. NFL 2K5
3. College Hoops 2K8
4. MLB The Show 09
5. NBA 2k8
6. Fight Night 4
7. Tiger Woods 09
8. NCAA 04
9. NHL 2k9
10. Skate

Re: Top 10: Sports Video Games Of All Time (AskMen)

you have to have Tecmo Super Bowl on the list and I would have to see NFL 2k5 on there.
