davidponte 02/23/17 11:39:47 AM #46:	78. WWE Smackdown! Here Comes The Pain (PS2) This game is likely on this list because of nostalgia. I've played a whole bunch of wrestling games in my life, but this was the first one I played for a significant amount of time. I first received this game a year or so after it came out, which also coincided with the time when I first really started paying attention to wrestling in general, so it feels like a perfect storm of good memories has come together to result in the way I feel about it. I spent a lot of time in the story mode of this game, which consisted of just as much backstage segments, in which you were given speech options and could form stables or start feuds, as it did actual wrestling, and the former has always been my favourite thing about wrestling. I can't honestly speak about the wrestling itself in this game, and that's only because I tried to spend as little time doing it as possible. I really liked the backstage segments and getting to interact with my favourite wrestlers as a kid, so I would try to end matches as quick as possible to see what would happen next in the story. 77. Borderlands 2 (PS3) I played this game alone, and while it is still a great game, I think that the way in which I played it stopped it from being much higher on the list. I played most of the first game with a friend, and the first time I played this game, a mixture of playing alone and the setting turned me off from it for a number of years. It wasn't until I purchased The Handsome Collection last year that I gave this game the time it deserved, and I ended up enjoying the hell out of it. Maybe I was just ready for more Borderlands after giving it a few years, but everything felt fresh to me. The game play was fun, the story was interesting, the characters were great, and I actually enjoyed Claptrap. It sucks that first person shooters have, for the most part, all turned into the same Call of Duty game, because taken away from that setting they are some of my favourite games to play, and Borderlands delivers on everything I like about the genre. Also, "RPG", "sidequests", and "open world", are a recipe for success when it comes to my enjoyment of games, and when you add those to a shooter that feels good and is funny, I can't see any way that I don't think it's great. --- https://psnprofiles.com/Simmons-94 <cite>davidponte posted [p:873690049] in David rank...
