The game that singlehandedly changed the industry as a whole.

I played it very late, after I had played every other 7th gen game in the franchise. However, I still found it fun.

I do not follow basketball or play it IRL.

However, I still had stupid fun with this.

I thought I'd like modern NBA games since I enjoyed NBA LIVE 2002 back in the day. This was free one month, so I gave it a shot.

Now I know I don't like modern NBA games.

A game so aggressively mediocre and so plagued by "buy more card packs so you can begin to have fun in the story mode" microtransactions that it made me quit WWE games in general.

Here's to hoping the upcoming AEW game is good.

A herald of times to come.

The last great game of the 2K series. I feel like this was the last time the devs recognized that more = better. From this point on, we'll start losing a lot of features for no reason. The Wrestlemania mode was fun.

The Wii was a horrendous mess that ran at 15fps on a good day. However, even that didn't ruin my experience with this game. The Attitude Era mode was an amazing way to play the hypest matches of that time. The roster was obscenely huge, and the customization opened up the door to the dumbest fun I've had in these games.

For a very long time, I thought this was the last great wrestling game. As a PS2 owner, this was the best way to say goodbye to the best years of WWE games we ever had. Bigger and better in every aspect. I played this game to the point where the disc got too scratched to play. Twice.

BEAST of a wrestling game. Basically added up on the formula of the previous one and made it bigger and better.

The best customization from its era. Road-to-Wrestlemania was an amazing idea and a wonderful way to immortalize the biggest WWE stars of the time.
I must have won every title with my CAW.

I spent so many hours on this game. It basically defined my view of what wrestling games could be like.

The game that started the glory years for wrestling games. An absolute blast.

I adore the backstage brawls on this one.

Just Bring It walked so the other 7th gen games could run. Basically a sequel to Smackdown! 2.

Not my favorite skating game of all time, but probably the best skating game of all time, objectively-speaking. Unparalleled when it comes to gameplay, simulation, customization, and challenge.
