If this was a best of the 2000's list, my list would be almost entirely sports games.

Wrestlemania 2000 was not released in 2000? How did they know that WWF was going to call it that?

It was a late 99 game. In regards to the name, maybe the WWF let them know during development? Could've been a lucky guess too.

[MalaCloudy Black]

I can't believe I forgot Final Fantasy Tactics. What the fuck, me. Gotta reorder my list now.

Haha I did too and then before posting my list I went into my box of PS1 games to make sure I didn't forget anything and was like "Are you fucking kidding me? I'm a god damned idiot."
