Could we just please have a Baseball game for the Xbox ( RBI doesn't count) or an Ncaa football and basketball game ( understand about the lawsuit) or even a generic football game from 2k first?

When I was in my early 20s my friends and I use to play hide & seek but the name was way too uncool so we called it seek & destroy lol

as far as a gladiator game, I still play Shadow of Rome on a PS2 emulator. One of the greatest games I ever played.

Sumo please. A fighting/RPG hybrid would delight me to no end.

Pesapallo, AKA Finnish baseball.

First video has NSFW language, but trust me, this looks like a ton of fun!

Nevermind an obscure sport. How about a professional alpine skiing game with all the famous courses and a career mode? Kind of like the very old Front Page Sports Skiing made by Sierra.
