It seems now is the time to capitalise on a renewed acceptance of, dare we say it, the video game side of sports video games, and here are five classic arcade titles that really need to come back.
Sick and tired of only being given the choice of playing Madden when it comes to football video games? Westapo of Gaming Rebellion goes over two of his favorite non-Madden games that are still a ton of fun to play: Tecmo Super Bowl or the NES and NFL Blitz for PS3/Xbox 360. Both games hold up remarkably well.
When NFL Blitz rebooted under EA Sports in 2012, with the franchise's creator back on the case, it lacked nearly all of the oomph that made the 1997 original so appealing, even to non-sports fans. No late hits, no over-the-top bodyslams. Quarterbacks weren't really sacked so much as they were shoved to the ground. Receivers were hip-checked and stumbled to the turf.
GotGame: Steam sales, Humble Bundles, GoG, Amazon, and even traditional retailers have made it easier than ever for the common man or woman to build a gaming empire in his or her own basement. The digital age has made our culture one of excess, long distanced from a past when a single dresser drawer could contain the average collection. What would happen if this now familiar excess ceased to be an option?
What a torturest question to ask? I have to pick 10 from this?

Agreed. I guarantee he's one of those kids on Xbox Live with the high pitched voice who never shuts his mouth for hours on end. You know... the ones that give you that burning desire to jump off the nearest bridge? lol.
Too little open-minded, game-loving, mind-expanding titles. Too much single minded, animal killing, brain washed, FPS exclusive loving numbness. Maybe you should see someone?
I agree but come on, Modern Warfare 1 is AWESOME!!! I'm a fanboy of that game, seriously.
