When you think of a “great game,” like we’re doing as part of our 25 Best Games of the Past 25 Years series, you’re probably going to think mainly of either a close, down to the final innings game, or one featuring a heroic single player performance. Most of the ones in the series are probably going to fall into one of those two categories.
However, there are other types of great games, especially when you put on a pair of [insert team colors here]-tinted glasses. One, for example, is a game where your team beats the absolute stuffing out of an opponent, especially a rival.
