saints row again

To progress through Saints Row's story mode, you have to earn respect, which can be achieved either by completing story missions or by taking part in various (mostly illegal) activities. Respect works in much the same way as experience points do in role-playing games, and every time you level up you'll unlock the next tier of story missions. We're not sure exactly how many different activities there are in the game at this point, but there's certainly no shortage of things to do, and there appears to be plenty of variety. The first activity that we put our skills to the test in was a "snatch" mission, which tasked us with rescuing prostitutes from abusive pimps. The next, and almost certainly our favorite right now, was an "insurance fraud" mission, where we were able to earn a decent amount of money by deliberately throwing our guy under moving vehicles and making sure that there were pedestrians in the area to witness it.


man saints row looks awesome. I played the demo, and it is really fun going around and stealing hos from abusive pimps.

I just found this today 8/3/6

The multiplayer modes in particular sound very cool. Big Ass Chains mode has players killing each other and then stealing the bling off of the bodies. Take the bling to a jewelry store, fence it, and get money. The first team to a certain score is the winner. But the best of all modes has to be Protect the Pimp. I'll leave it to you to figure out the objective, but this is the important part: the pimp is controllable and has the "Bitch Slap" ability, which is a one hit kill. That's got to be the best idea ever.
