Rocket League, Tecmo Bowl, NBA Jam, and some others are worthy picks as well.

I should probably not take any of the 47 sports games I'm considering then. :lol:

I’m going to work but I’ll try to keep an eye on this if I come up.

I have another Durden round before I go again though so I should have a nice buffer zone from that.

I jump back into it every now and then and have a good time. I wanted an FPS on there somewhere, and somebody's already got Half Life 2, so I figured I'd go for the "most influential" one.

Doom was definitely on my short list. But I've never actually played it.
