Home to games that just focus on their sport without any of the silliness that can infect titles at the far reaches of the spectrum.
Top Spin 3 sits firmly in this territory and it has a purity of focus that's very reassuring. Top Spin is about as serious as you'd want a tennis game to be, with an extensive create-a-player system, play mechanics that reward forethought, a good eye for tennis, and what promises to be a vibrant online feature-set."
