Don't I just get some guns, get some homies and start smoking fools?" Well, you can certainly do that, and have success with it, but if you really want to make your mark on Stilwater, and make the main story missions easier in the process, you're going to want to ease back the hammer, put the heater away for the time being and divert your attention to activities for a moment.
The reason for this can be summed up in one word: unlockables. As you make progress in the various activities sprinkled around your fair city, you'll unlock abilities, weapons and discounts. Most of the unlockables are unlocked after completing level three and level six of an activity, meaning that you can do but a few levels of an activity to pump your character up a little, and at the higher end, spend less than an hour to get some very powerful bonuses, bonuses like unlimited sprint, unlimited pistol ammo, 3x health regeneration and more melee damage. Do I have your attention now?"
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.
