Rebel Gaming's JeriKane reviews WWF Smackdown 2, the final WWF game on the PS1.
John from the video games " Wrestling is a combat sport involving grappling type techniques such as clinch fighting, throws and takedowns, joint locks, pins and other grappling holds. Well it is that but under the banner of WWE which is the biggest franchise out there it is known as Sports Entertainment."
Tecmo's WWF Wrestlefest in the arcades was awesome. Then Royal Rumble and WWF Raw came out on consoles and were pretty great too.
But Power Move Pro Wrestling on the PS1 trumps all.

Legend of Zelda (NES) - Main theme
How do you define epic? Different people from various walks of life will come up with own definitions, but gamers will surely point to the original Legend of Zelda on the NES and nod in a matter-of-fact way. There's no doubt the classic, cinematic main score is among gaming's most iconic and legendary!

Remember in the late 90′s when professional wrestling became extremely popular again? I do. I was a big fan of the WWF back then, now called the WWE. My favorite wrestler was The Rock. He was powerful, yet agile. Although I loved watching Raw every Monday and eventually Smackdown on Thursdays, the main reason why I was into wrestling was the games. Although at the time I focused on the WWF titles, I grew curious and not much later I tried the WCW games. Both companies made incredible games and their respective developers did a good job to distinguish the two; however I will say that THQ is the king of wrestling games. There’s a reason that they’ve made every WWE game for over a decade. Regardless of developer, wrestling games are an important segment of video game history and was a new genre for the medium. Some say wrestling games are fighting games or sports games. I think they’ve created their own genre.
I loved No Mercy the most. I would love an HD remake of that. Hell, I'd love to see a HD COllection of all the PS2 games as well
Omg! WcW/NWO Revenge! <3 Best wrestling game ever. Closely followed by No Mercy.
What about WWF Wrestlemania 2000? It was the predecessor to No Mercy and should at least get a honorable mention. It's funny just a day ago I was telling my girlfriend how I drove an hour away in the middle of the night just to find a 24 hour Walmart that had it in stock.
I didn't write the article, but if I had, it would definitely be in there! I remember buying it day 1 at Toys R Us when I was like 11.
World Wildlife Fund doesn't make games...silly. ;)
I'd always create so many superstars. ..
