It's sunny and 75 here in San Francisco, and when the weather is this gorgeous there's only one thing to do-cram inside of a small venue and play video games!Game Informer is out in the bay area for THQ's annual gamers day to check out what the ever-changing publisher has in store for the near future. After opening remarks, Game Informer was treated to a few videos of the games that awaited them in the next room over-but before they could get to that, the company had a small surprise in the form of a very short teaser trailer to announce Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II from Relic. The CGI trailer showed a hero space marine going toe-to-toe with a giant orc using, yep, warhammers. After being assured that's all they'd get to see, it was time to shuffle in and check out the line-up.
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.
Beneath all the Smash and shovelware, the Wii really did have quite a few gems.
Not a bad list.. I would add Excitebots, Kororinpa 1 & 2, Bit.Trip series, Geometry Wars: galaxies
THQ Nordic 10th anniversary sale includes big discounts on Darksiders, de Blob, SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom, and more.
thq is really improving. hope they bring some of the shooters and adult games to wii also.
