RealGamer writes: "Many gamers will see THQ's latest free roaming third person shooter as a rival to Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto IV, I would rather look at it as an alternative, a tongue in cheek representation of gang culture that doesn't take itself seriously and encourages the player to unleash mindless an often over the top chaos on the city of Stillwater.
Saints Row 2 is set five years after the original game and much in the city of Stilwater has changed. The Saints are no more and their old neighbourhood has been destroyed and replaced with huge skyscrapers erected by the Altor Corporation. Your gang's territory has been conquered and divided up between several new unfamiliar gangs and it's down to you to resurrect the Saints and reclaim the city."
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.
this game is getting allot of mixed reviews but this one seems right.
