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.
You know the 2000s is 20 years ago too? Maybe, just maybe this wasn’t an article targeted to 30+ gamers? Still says at the very beginning of the title “THE BEST GAMES you may have missed”. Regardless of how well they sold there’s tons of gamers who haven’t touched these older well known games lol.
It's games you "may have missed", insinuating you were around and gaming in the 2000's and were there to miss them. If it was aimed at everyone else then they missed literally everything, not just the top games.
The original commenter is right, this is a badly written article at best pointless at worst.
Besides only being able to miss it if you were around during that time..if your point stands then this is a horrible list. Tons of better games people may have missed
Oh yeah thanks for reminding me I totally forgot they were doing it. Also what the hell happened to Kingpin: Reloaded? On Steam coming soon and nohting from the dev.
Yeah, I was just going to say. It's interesting seeing them back behind the series. Max Payne 3 was amazing, but then Rockstar just sat on the IP.
Well, they sit on virtually anything that isn't GTA and Red Dead now.
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.
the title didn’t say lesser known titles from the 2000s. This is 20 years ago now lol. Big assumption this list was made for older gamers.
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."
I mean, it IS merged with Game pass. you get game pass you get games with gold.
Ah my mistake, I have ultimate. But now that you mention it I do remember them getting me with the upsell, seemed a bit silly not to spend the couple bucks extra for Xbox live (and I guess also games with gold).
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.
Honestly the gold term here was a bad choice .. when it says gold it give impress there is silver and bronze before.
PS+ name is better
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.
wrong review
this game is awesome
reminds me a lot of san andreas,so much to do,so satisfying,earning money is so rewarding cause you have many things to do and so little cash
this game shouldn't get lower than 9 or 8.5 tbh
This reivew is absurd at best. He points ut 10 things that are standout about the game and 2 things that need work. After all that he gives it a 65 out of 100, yeah... sure thing, Pal.
I got borded of GTa4 3 hours after 1st playing it and realizing I was doing the exact same thing I had been doing in every GTA game since the ps2 launched... Saints Row 2 > GTA4. All there is to it.
Let me just say that I knew my low score of 65 would attract some attention. Like all of our reviews, we don't give high marks and we get a lot of crap about it.
Our games are rated using a set of criteria based on 10/10 and from then on taken by an average. For example, we review a game based on 2 criteria, graphics and sound. If the sound scores 0 and the graphics score 10, why should we score the game more or less than 5/10 all round? We shouldn't, and we don't. At the same time, we rate all games as 10/10 until we have a reason to reduce that number. In my opinion, SR2 had plenty of faults. The game crashed on me on plenty of occasions and I got tired of playing through the same stuff over and over.
It's also a sequel, so I have to take into consideration the good stuff against the original game and the competitors (GTA).
If any of you had a brain, you'd have noticed I scored the game play at 8/10 which is more than reasonable given the bugs the game has. The other elements let the game down considerably, and I made careful mention of that.
If you still think I scored this game unfairly, up yours, I'm giving an honest review unlike everyone else. Not every game is perfect and pretending it is perfect just stupid. I can point out many fatal flaws with Halo 3 and yet all of the gaming sites I've read reviews on have given it 100%. Isn't that just like saying that Halo 3 is the absolute perfect game? Most of you would argue, no, it's not, and you're right, it's far from perfect, and so is Saints Row 2 which is why it's scored at 65/100.
B*tch all you want, it's not going to change my score no matter how much you love or hate the game. I rated it fairly.
