          Do today’s sports games feel stale to you? If only we had some of these titles to help spice things back up.

          NFL 2K: EA’s exclusive NFL license is about to run out. Competition fuels innovation. Bring back NFL 2K!

          MVP Baseball: “The Show” remains brilliant on PS3, but Xbox gamers desperately need an upgrade.

          TNA Wrestling: You’re telling me a game with Hulk Hogan, Sting, Jeff Hardy, and the Aces and Eights wouldn’t sell?

          NBA Ballers: One-on-one hoops complete with combos and yachts.

          Mutant League Football: Watching your running back blow up or fall through a hole in the field never gets old.
