For those who wanna play realistic sports games:

Go outside! It doesn't get more real than that.

aside from nfl blitz, mario baseball, the extreme (skateboarding, etc) sports games, and wii sports, i hate sports games.

Sports games are great IMO, I love the madden series, and NHL hits, NBA Live, but the worst sports game in history was Madden 95, also I like the Mario sports a lot.

Not much of a sports game kind of guy.

Probably because I play enough sports at school, or after school.

I really like basketball though for some reason. It's fun.

I think that some games are fun IRL, but to watch people playing on TV is boring. Games are more or less the same way I feel. It's not like playing the actual sports. I think the only sports one I might enjoy is boxing, because is close enough to fighting games.

In a word, no.

Look, it's all a matter of opinion. There is no worst genre. There are worse ones, yes, but certainly no worst.

Movie games themselves have specific genres.

I like the Mario Sports games because they give them an interesting spin and make them fun, but most normal sports games don't appeal to me in the slightest.

No, but it is a type called "shovelware". Depending on the movie is a factor in to what genre the game is based on.
My W.I.Ps:

Mushroom Kingdom Fusion (part of the FusionTeam)

Pokemon Topaz and Amythest

I enjoy both Sports Games and Party games.

When it comes to sports games, I prefer silly games over realstic games. But I can play both.

And Party games, I usually only enjoy with friends.

I'd say Sports games are pretty good, there are some games that sucked, but there are some good ones out there.

Oh and the only kind of worst genre of games are most likely MMORPG's, in my opinion as a response to Unknowns comment.
