In their attempt to try and sell Saints Row 2 as the "extreme" alternative to Grand Theft Auto IV, THQ has taken to taking jabs at the Xbox 360's checkered past with their hardware quality control by throwing in a "Red Ring" billboard into one of their trailers.
Later on in the same trailer, THQ also takes a few more playful shots at anybody who paused the video long enough to read a "legal notice" that flashes across the screen. For those people out there who don't want to take the time to fiddle with the trailer's playback speed, Binge Gamer's James Walker has provided a full transcript of the notice.
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.
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."
I mean, it IS merged with Game pass. you get game pass you get games with gold.
Ah my mistake, I have ultimate. But now that you mention it I do remember them getting me with the upsell, seemed a bit silly not to spend the couple bucks extra for Xbox live (and I guess also games with gold).
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.
Honestly the gold term here was a bad choice .. when it says gold it give impress there is silver and bronze before.
PS+ name is better
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.
Called The Red Ring
It will be the Bots favorite hang out
And who isn't taking pot shot's at the Xbox these days
Its the laughing stock of the Console market
trying way to hard.
i think THQ need to worry about making a good game and stop trying to take shots at the 360. since mostly 360 owner will be the one's mostly buying it. so if you sale are low. THQ may have to ask themselve why.
from all the previews i have seen it looks like they are trying to upstage gta with other elements found in san andreas. just putting SUPA KOOL MHINEEE GHUNEZ isn't going to make the game more enjoyable, but then again gtaiv would be better if they added more things to do. i blame the disk space of 360 and rockstar starting gta from scratch again on new consoles. maybe the next gta will have a san andreas endless level of things to do.
its just a joke. im sure they will bag ps3, but they are trying to hard hard to be rebel
