Saint's Row 2 is headed to the Xbox 360 later this year, and Volition dropped by Teamxbox's offices recently to give them a look at what they have in store for the second installment of the gang-bangingest game to hit the Xbox 360. Taking place a few years after the events of Saint's Row, Saint's Row 2 has you returning to the city of Stillwater, which has been rebuilt after all the mayhem and destruction caused by you the first time around.
The Saints are scattered and in shambles, and in the power vacuum left by them and the rival gangs you took out, a bunch of new ruffians have come in and set up shop. There are three new gangs to contend with, each with its own fighting style, car types and illegal trade they take part in.
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.
