I'm currently in 2010 or so as far as WWE games go, since that's the newest one I've played/rented. The series has been going downhill, Yukes/THQ keep removing things, adding gimmicks and then keeping them, and the graphics are years behind.
TNA Impact wasn't bad. Notably, it used the same engine as WWE All-Stars (the one where everyone's on steroids), but the TNA game got crap reviews while the WWE one got "OMGZ FUN DIFFRENT GAME" despite being the same game pretty much.
