Back into Stillwater for another peak into the life of a gangsta.
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.
GTA IV just looks like it has more personality.
It does'nt look like this game is gonna sway a majority GTA crowd their way. GTA 4 just looks too polished, refined and exctiting enough so much, that not much heads are gonna pay too much attention to Saints Row 2. More importantly, GTA's legendary name and rep for delivering outstanding titles in gaming history is written in stone, on a global scale. Having said that, if it's very good I see no reason to have a look at it and see if it's worth buying. But it still most probably will not be better than GTA 4.
My favourite GTA game was Vice City and San Andreas was really good, but both titles had some significant things missing to make them complete. GTA 3, with it's gritty New-York style setting could have been the best one on last-gen, but it had way too many missing aspects (eg. motorbikes. GTA 4 just looks like it is everything all the previous last-gen GTA's should have been, and Saints Row will not even have a slim chance of surpassing this!
It could be fun I guess, but it will never take me away from GTA4. And because it is getting released late this year, it will be very hard to squeeze it in with the other incredible games coming out.
For me its GTA4 any day first then saints row later.
saints row could be interesting due to the co op but we shall see i guess
