Jolt: "Picking up a few years after the end of the first game, SR2 finds you in prison, comatose after the yacht explosion that ended the original game. Awakening from said coma you get to use the highly enjoyable character creation tool to sculpt your in-game appearance. Soon enough its jail break time and the game proper kicks in on the streets of Stillwater. The central aim of the experience is to rebuild your gang turning them once again into the areas most feared bunch of hoodlums. To achieve this you'll need to pay close attention to the territory system which sees the city broken up into forty-five distinct neighbourhoods, each controlled by one of a number of rival gangs. As the story plays out you'll gradually win over these areas either by successfully completing missions or by simply blasting your way into enemy strongholds and taking over."
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.
