Saints Row 2 Trailer - Bringing Back Eazy-E

Yes, we’ve pimped Saints Row 2 a lot, it’s because we liked the first one and love the idea that they have built co-op in from the start. We also like the idea of a sandbox game like GTAIV that isn’t so far up it’s own ass that it forgets to be fun. Oh… and the [...]

Saint’s Row 2 Details

Kotaku has the scoop (because Gameplayer AU is dead) on the Saint’s Row 2 details that have emerged as of late. For someone that really enjoyed the original and am happy to see it come back, these deets are looking nice! (Note: SR2 will be a dual-release 360/PS3): The game will be adding a full-story co-op [...]
