This anti-GTA IV doesn't have the technical niceties (graphical hiccups abound) or Oscar-worthy story of Rockstar's magnum opus, but wins on pure fun factor and gleeful silliness. Co-op is huge fun and the character creation tools are immense. Score one for the Third Street Saints.

Gettin’ jiggy and giggly in the gangsta’s paradise…

Oct 14, 2008

We don’t get the recent GTA IV backlash. At all. GTA IV was amazing. Deep down, everyone knows it. Though even we’d admit that once you’d plowed through Niko’s story, what remained was hardly the greatest example of raucous sandbox fun... ...

Can teabagging ninjas and the crap cannon dethrone the mighty GTA?

Aug 5, 2008

When talking about Saints Row 2, it’s impossible not to immediately acknowledge the hulking beast that is GTA IV.

Can it compete with GTA IV? We say, "Ehhhhh..."

Apr 4, 2008

Saints Row 2 is not pretty, it is not refined, and it is not realistic. "We're going for a very over-the-top feel," commented James Tsai, the game's lead designer, as we chatted with him at THQ's yearly preview event.The game is very over-the-top, both in gameplay and story, the latter of which has been criticized as an exercise in tired racial stereotypes and naive views of "street life."

Saints Row 2

Is there a gang war on the cards?

Jan 25, 2008

The original Saints Row was perhaps the most successful Grand Theft Auto copycat to date, and its sequel is promising to up the ante with a series of tweaks to the winning crime sim formula. Unsurprisingly, gang warfare is still the order of the day as you guide your chosen gangbanger through an expanded version of Stillwater City. But while the games themes remain unchanged there is talk of a darker storyline that picks up some years on from the explosive final act of the first game - ... » Read Full Saints Row 2 preview
