Saint Row 2 can easily be summarized: the idea was to offer gamers fun without too much seriousness. This goal is certainly achieved thanks to the frustrationless gameplay and the pretentionless world. A result of this is that the game isn't much more than a combination of generic models and assignments which are luckily flavored with a lot of nice extras, original missions and the necessary slapstick comedy. And sometimes that's more than enough for a successful game! As it it here!
Pros:
* Fun
* Co-op
* Frustrationless gameplay
* Original missions
* Characters system
Cons:
* Pretty flat at times
* Graphically no longer top
* Not for those looking for added value
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.
