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.
You know the 2000s is 20 years ago too? Maybe, just maybe this wasn’t an article targeted to 30+ gamers? Still says at the very beginning of the title “THE BEST GAMES you may have missed”. Regardless of how well they sold there’s tons of gamers who haven’t touched these older well known games lol.
It's games you "may have missed", insinuating you were around and gaming in the 2000's and were there to miss them. If it was aimed at everyone else then they missed literally everything, not just the top games.
The original commenter is right, this is a badly written article at best pointless at worst.
Besides only being able to miss it if you were around during that time..if your point stands then this is a horrible list. Tons of better games people may have missed
Oh yeah thanks for reminding me I totally forgot they were doing it. Also what the hell happened to Kingpin: Reloaded? On Steam coming soon and nohting from the dev.
Yeah, I was just going to say. It's interesting seeing them back behind the series. Max Payne 3 was amazing, but then Rockstar just sat on the IP.
Well, they sit on virtually anything that isn't GTA and Red Dead now.
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.
the title didn’t say lesser known titles from the 2000s. This is 20 years ago now lol. Big assumption this list was made for older gamers.
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."
I mean, it IS merged with Game pass. you get game pass you get games with gold.
Ah my mistake, I have ultimate. But now that you mention it I do remember them getting me with the upsell, seemed a bit silly not to spend the couple bucks extra for Xbox live (and I guess also games with gold).
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.
Honestly the gold term here was a bad choice .. when it says gold it give impress there is silver and bronze before.
PS+ name is better
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.
Nice tnx for the ending. Now we dont have to play this POS GTAIV wanna be.
Which console was it done on? Looked like ps2 version though or maybe 360 cuz the torrents been out for last couple of days.
im not gonna watch it. Thanks but no thanks
It looked ok, I liked the whole prison-break out thing, the graphics were kinda average though, but they still looked bearable. The whole game itself from what I've seen looks quite good, but not great. I aint gonna get too hyped up with this like I did with the GTA 4 letdown. I still think that GTA 4 is technically a better game than Sainst Row 2, but it does look like SR2 may have more to offer in terms of massive gameplay variety, content and fun. If SR2 can successfully pull off these things it offers then it's all good. I'll check the reviews carefully and buy it a worthy contender for GTA's title.
I am a big GTA fan like many gamers on here, and I too was kinda let down by GTA 4. GTA 4 was still a very good game - but thats was the problem. GTA 4 was not meant be just "very good", it was supposed to be " ground-breakingly excellent", the ultimate next-gen and open-world/sandbox/crime simulation/action game. Well it certainly did not achieve that which was very dissapointing.
I know Saints Row 2 will not be the next great GTA-style title but if it can greatly improve on and add missing features from GTA 4, then it will have me sold.
doesn't it ? not better than GTA IV but looks fun
Yeah competition is good. But can you see Rockstar loosing any sleep over this game lol ? Saints row 2 is hardley what ied call worthy competition. The game looks last gen and just looks like no effort has been put into this game.
