With the World Series winding down and football just about in top gear, news of sports seems to be everywhere - even in the world of console gaming. And with all the recent sports releases, the video game rental charts have been taken over by sports titles in three different genres - racing, wrestling, and football.
Football remains the favorite, taking up the three slots on the top five list, with NFL Blitz for the Nintendo 64 at number two, Madden NFL 99 at three, and NFL Blitz for the PlayStation at number four. WWF: WarZone lands at number one, with Cruis'n World at number five.
