CVG just arrived back in the office from Rockstar towers and already it's managed to take pot-shots at them with its big media cannon. Manhunt 2-shaped pot-shots, to be exact.
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.
GTA Underground combines the San Andreas, Liberty City, Vice City, Manhunt I/II, Bullworth, and custom maps into one big map.
Who was that guy recently who said Rockstar dont want to do just meaningless ports?
Cos something like this would be cool if you combine 3, SA and VC maps. Change characters a la GTAV style. Insert some quests in each game to tie in the connection between the three players and have post endgame content of all three games with more missions/heists.
Just a thought.
I've played a few mods like this way back when the only two cities were liberty and vice the fact the old 3d games still have active modding communitys shows that there's still a huge pull to these classics I hope rockstar comes through with proper remakes not just that really bad HD San Andreas and mobile anniversary edition of vc and 3
GI: "Over the past two decades, Rockstar Games has emerged as a force to be reckoned with in the games industry. Rising up from quirky Scotland-based developers with a taste for pulp and crime fiction, Rockstar evolved radically, shifting into innovators and provocateurs, creating some of the industry's most influential and blockbuster titles. In the lead up to the eagerly anticipated Red Dead Redemption 2, we came together as a staff to rank every single game that Rockstar developed (this means we excluded published titles like L.A. Noire and Smuggler's Run). From the humble top-down beginnings of Grand Theft Auto to the blood-soaked streets of Manhunt and the beautiful jaw-dropping vistas of Red Dead Redemption, you’ll find every single title put in its proper place in terms of influence, importance of innovation, and just plain fun."
Ranking games on best graphics and best game play and best soundtrack is one thing, but I rank them in terms of when they came out and how they made me feel at the time. For me GTAIII is the best GTA game of all time. Because of how I felt while playing it in 2001/2002. It gave me the most fun, wow factor and joy I can remember of all the games. There's nothing like your first.

It kinda annoying that this is only coming out on the Nintendo Wii, PS2 and PSP. It would be awesome if they built this from the ground up for the Xbox 360 and PS3. Manhunt 2 does look pretty awesome, i kinda got a thirst for blood after just seeing Saw 3 lol.
Looks better then Scarface for the Wii, which is just a Xbox port of the game..graphics and all.
It might be me, but does some of the graphics look better in one pic then others. Some seem to have bump mapping while others don't...?
An original title out originally intended for the Wii? That's dripping with blood and gore?
Wow. Never thought I'd see the day.
couldent agree more with you man. I injoyed this game on ps2 a lot but i rather play the second one on my ps3 insted of ps2 grafics. If they put time into it and had like awsome blood effects liek god of war and took great rag doll effects it would be awsome :( P.S. Wish i kept my Wii :( will have to play the ps2 version on my ps3 :)
that last pic reminds me of The suffering lol jsut thought id add that lol
