VideoGamer Writes:
"While there's no doubt that GTA IV will be regarded as the best game of 2008 by many people, some gamers have complained about the relative lack of things to do in Liberty City - especially when compared to the circus of diversions that was San Andreas. If you consider yourself to be among this disappointed group, then take heart: Saints Row 2 will offer you all the variety you need, and then some. This game features demolition derbies, helicopter rampages and underground fight clubs. There's the opportunity to gamble, the opportunity go "surfing" on car bonnets - there's even the opportunity to take off your clothes and go running around like a lunatic. There's so much to do in this game that it would be impossible to cover all the options in a single preview, but we're going to cover as much as we can."
The 2000s was a great decade for a lot of brilliant video games. Here are the ten best games of the 2000s that you may not have played.
You know usually when someone says "you may have missed" it's games that were lesser known, hidden gems, underrated games. These are all super high profile games that sold extremely well.
What is this list? These are all hugely popular games. I was expecting games like Dark Messiah of Might & Magic, Advent Rising, Arx Fatalis, etc.
I've only played 3 on that list. Part of me feels bad about how little I used all the consoles I've owned as a kid. One bright side is, there's over 30 years of games to experience for the first time.
News Wire - "Today, we’re excited to reveal Games with Gold for July! On Xbox One, command your rally car to victory in extreme conditions in WRC 8 FIA World Rally Championship and rule the court with high-flying dunks and confidence-smashing rejections in Dunk Lords."
Dunk Lords has a sort of NBA Jam vibe to it so that might be fun. I like rally racers but much prefer the Sega type (arcade style) over the more realistic ones. So that may be a pass. I already have SR2 on disc so I dont need that one. Juju looks cute in a DKC/Rayman sort of way so that might be worth a try. Overall though... its pretty bland month.
Plenty of games seem guaranteed to get sequels. But sometimes, companies surprise people and give them the additional installments they didn't know they needed.
