Saints Row 2 doesn't offer up a particularly compelling world or story, making it short on memorable moments, but while you're playing, it does go out of its way to make sure you're never bored by means of sheer quantity of action and variety of gameplay. However, because of technical issues with the port and a lack of enhancements to take advantage of the PC's hardware, the PC version isn't Saints Row 2 at its best.
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.
Ouch and some people thought the port of GTA 4 was bad on the PC. It seems Volition rose to the challenge that is GTA 4 and managed to succeed in making a worse port. Honestly that game looks horrible and the specs for it are shocking. I can see SR2 totally disappearing on the PC, I certainly won't be purchasing it and I doubt it will even be pirated that heavily it looks that crap. However no doubt they will wheel out the "piracy card" to justify low sales.
