The Game Dame™

Screen Shot of GTA: San Andreas In Saints Row, players start as a member of the 3rd Street Saints. Under constant threat from rival gangs and corrupt officials, the city of Stilwater must be conquered one district at a time. Saints Row starts with a bang and never slows down, offering an unparalleled level of character and vehicle customization and the freedom to progress through the game any way the player chooses. Every action taken in the fully dynamic world is an opportunity for players to earn respect. With enough respect, the city evolves into a giant playground for the player to traverse. Saints Row is revolutionizing the open world genre with an online multiplayer experience, allowing players to battle it out against rival gangs online for the first time. The game will support 12 players on Xbox Live(R) online entertainment network.

I checked out the official site at SaintsRow.com. After you verify your DOB, you’re taken to a page where the center image is a pimp holding a rocket launcher. Sweet. “If it takes theft, extortion or tried and true brute force, then that’s what you’ve got to do.” the site’s overview explains. The game is scheduled for an August 29th release, but I’m curious to see how many panties get bunched over the gangster life, kill or be killed story line. Will it actually make it to the shelves by then? (UPDATE: Review: Saints Row Demo)
