10. Inazuma Eleven
Inazuma Eleven is a sports video game, football to be exact. But it’s not just any video game, it combines the elements of Role-Playing and sports well together. In football, the ideal position is striker, because you score the goals and feel the joy you never had before. But Inazuma Eleven’s focus is on the goalkeeper, Mamoru Endō.
