Darkzero writes: "With just three weeks left until the release of Saints Row 2, THQ has allowed us to now reveal the details of the online multiplayer modes that you'll be able to experience come 17th October.
Matches are played out within one of seven maps that are themed around various districts such as Chinatown and Beverly Hills. There are, of course, the standard Deathmatch modes which appear to be mandatory for any online first- or third-person shooter. Here they are named Gangsta Brawl and Team Gangsta Brawl and are pretty self-explanatory. The goal is to kill as many of the opposing players as you can, with the player or team with the highest score at the end of the match being the winner."

PS3 - Saints Row 2 - Jaime Pressly to star in Saints Row 2

THQ has revealed the all-star cast that will be lending their voices for Saints Row 2 this October.

Poison Ivy and My Name Is Earl star Jaime Pressly leads the way, playing a character known as Jessica who appears to be the girlfriend of one of the mob bosses. She apparently loves voicing computer game characters because she "can be as sexy as she wants to be".

Neil Patrick Harris also joins the Saint Row 2 team voicing 'DJ Veteran Child', a drug dealer who's not very good at his day job. And Eliza Dushku, perhaps most famous for her role as Faith in the Buffy The Vampire Slayer TV series, plays Shaundi, a drug addict apparently based on a few of her teenage friends.

Gary Busey promotes Saints row 2

PS3 - Saints Row 2 - Gary Busey promotes Saints row 2

Joystiq Writes
"Were you recently diagnosed with a severe case of sanity? We've got your physician-approved prescription posted after the break -- a triple dose of advertisements for Saints Row 2, with commentary provided by esteemed Shakespearian thespian, Gary Busey. We highly doubt that Busey was provided with a script in these videos -- when the Silver Bullet star asks, "Who hasn't wanted to kill someone with a garden gnome," he's probably not reading from a script. His addled mind ponders that very question two or three times a day."

Saints Row 2 'first game to feature tea-bagging'

PS3 News from N4G | Saints Row 2

PS3 - Saints Row 2 - Saints Row 2 'first game to feature tea-bagging'

From GAMER.tm: "In a demonstration of Saints Row 2 at last week's Games Convention in Leipzig, Volition designer David Bowring revealed to us that the sandbox sequel would have the dubious honour of being the first videogame to feature tea-bagging.

"Tucked away at the bottom of the new customisable taunts menu is the offending – and indeed offensive – option, replacing the age-old tradition of repeatedly crouching and standing over a fallen enemy with a genuine and fully animated alternative for ultimate humiliation.

"It's not just for show, either. With a refined respect system in place, well-timed taunts can earn you more kudos from your posse and conversely, positive emotes (also mapped to the D-pad) can be used to praise allies and again garner a little more respect."

Saints Row dev couldn't get its head around Cell

PS3 - Saints Row 2 - Saints Row dev couldn't get its head around Cell

Saints Row developer Volition has elaborated on the botched release of the original game on PS3, telling CVG in an interview "we just couldn't get our heads around the Cell technology".

"In Saints Row 1 we got about half way through the process and then we realised that we just couldn't get our heads around Cell," producer Dan Sutton told CVG. "It's just really complicated and I'm sure you noticed other games like Stranglehold push their dates up. "Cell's really, really powerful. The problem is it's also a really different system, the way it uses multi-threading technology."
