Saints Row 2 Announced

Saints Row 2 Logo

THQ announced that sequel to the GTA-style next gen game Saints Row is in the works. Saints Row was an Xbox 360 exclusive that followed the criminal underworld/open world model of Rockstar‘s key franchise pretty closely but included a character generator and several minor improvements that made it a hit with early 360 adopters.

Saints Row 2 takes place years after the original in the same city (Stillwater), but things have changed with the passage of time. As described in the press release, “Saints Row 2 has a much darker and more sinister story that leads your character down a path of betrayal, revenge and redemption against the city that has left him for dead.”

Unlike the original, which was a 360 exclusive, Saints Row 2 will be released on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 sometime in 2008.

Saints Row Heads To PS3

Posted by Christopher Sasaki Categories: PlayStation 3, THQ, Xbox 360,

Saints Row After rumors that the Xbox 360 sandbox game Saints Row would be coming to the Playstation 3, THQ confirmed the rumors to Gamespot. The company announced that Saints Row would be available on the Playstation 3 in the second quarter of 2007. Gamespot notes that a number of high profile PS3 titles have been announced for the Xbox 360, now titles are flowing the other way. Given the high cost of developing next-generation titles, it seems unlikely that most “exclusive” third-party titles would stay that way without serious monetary incentive from a console manufacturer.

Rumor: Saints Row Coming to PS3?

Posted by Michael Cardiff Categories: Action, PlayStation 3, Rumors, THQ,

PS3 Saints Row?

EBGames/Gamestop’s website is quickly becoming the source of choice for new game rumors that end up being true. So when their website listed Saints Row for the PS3 and then quickly took it down, it set off quite a buzz. Now keep in mind, Gamestop probably has their fair share of bad web programmers and crappy database administrators working for them, so this could all just be a simple mix-up of placing the game under the wrong console. But if we didn’t fan the flames of interesting rumors, we wouldn’t be good bloggers, now would we??!

Fry’s Reneges on $370 Xbox 360 bundle, Offers Same Thing for $470

DescriptionFor all of you out there wondering whether your $370 Xbox bundle we reported on earlier is ever going to arrive, I got the answer in my Inbox the other day:

In other words: “Whoopsie! But now that we have your attention, want to pay $100 more for the same thing?”

The whole fiasco just leaves a bad taste in my mouth… color me naive, but shouldn’t retailers have to honor their listed prices whether or not it’s a screw-up on their end? I can’t imagine this kind of bait-n-switch happening in an actual brick-and-mortar store. On the other hand, an Xbox 360 Platinum bundle with 3 games for $449 is still a pretty good deal, so we’ve included the link in case you’re still interested.
