"When Saints Row shipped in 2006 on Xbox 360, it had the luxury of no competition. As the first Grand Theft Auto-style game of this generation, it got a lot of credit for outdoing parts of Rockstar's popular franchise with better visuals and controls. But with Saints Row 2 on track to ship after GTA4, the crew at developer Volition have gone from having no competition to facing possibly the biggest game of 2008. And now their challenge is to distinguish themselves as more than a good GTA clone." writes Matt Leone.
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.
Glad they are taking the game in a different direction then GTA
Should be fun ^_^
hope the framerate is better than the 1st game
SR1 ,driving on the freeway,eek ! Peterliners appearing outta nowhere ! Cars outta nowhere !
"Of special note is that you can play as a male or female, but it's actually a sliding scale -- you have 100 degrees of how male or female you want to be, so you can have a character that's 30% male and 70% female"
HAHA, bring on the Butch women and Femme Men!!!
Should bring alot of replayability to this game and I am very glad it is on the PS3 as well!
We could use the people we create in PS Home in this game instead of making a new guy/girl. Just like the Nintendo Miis use in some games.
