The sport of paintball makes for an exciting video game concept.
A game that is played in real life with marble-sized paintballs fired from guns, the whole idea of the sport of paintball is one that lends itself well to today's world of video gaming. Some of the top manufacturers in the industry have attempted to capitalize on fans of the sport by creating video games that allow gamers to get a feel for the sport without even having to leave their living room -- but some of these games have been more well-received than others.
