Total Extreme Wrestling 2020
The WWE games have had one GM Mode or another based on running their flagship shows since the PS2 days. Still, they're a little too polished to accurately represent the world of professional wrestling. Where are the TV contracts and sponsorship talks? Are the prima donna wrestlers dissatisfied with their opponents? The referees and other personnel required to keep things running?
Total Extreme Wrestling has had all that and more. Since its original incarnation as Extreme Warfare in 1995, the series has received intermittent new releases. The latest entry, Total Extreme Wrestling 2020, is regarded as the best of the bunch. The action is told entirely through text and statistics, but there are plenty of options to keep people guessing. Players can create their own storylines, give their wrestlers gimmicks, and work out their flaws in the name of TV ratings. The game is available for PC and can be downloaded from Steam or developer Grey Dog Software's website.
