To kick this off, I fully understand that the typical annual entries into NHL, NFL, NBA, etc can oftentimes be the same game with a new coat of paint in a lot of instances and if you have ever frequented a game store, you have seen the bargain bins filled to the brim with them, with 90% or more discounts stuck to their labels.
I also understand that this is a big genre that becomes more and more diverse as we get through the 21st century, with a lot of games mixing it up and becoming hybrids, especially in the realm of golfing games (a prime example would be Mario Golf, mixing RPG and golf elements). I was curious as to what were some gems and favourites in this macro genre of gaming.
