For the unaware, Saint's Row was a title about the rise of a random guy to the upper ranks of an inner-city gang. It's weird to sum it up in that short a sentence, considering the amount of content in the game. Those who have visited Stilwater will most certainly agree. It almost feels like I'm doing the game an injustice, and no matter how much I write about Saint's Row 2 it'll feel the same way. There's just no way to write about every little detail, joke, or fun activity in the game - but here's a try at it anyways.
Before I get too deep into this review, Saint's Row 2 is a title that everyone should get their hands on. That's the gist of what I'm trying to say, but the reasons why everyone should play it are much more time consuming. Why is that? It's because this game has it all."
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.
