After years of being a crashy pain in the arse, Saints Row 2 is finally getting fixed up to play nicely on modern PCs. Developers Volition announced last night that they've found the source code to their cheery open-world murder simulator after years of wanting, so they can give it much-needed love. 2008's game is probably my favourite Saints Row, a wacky take on GTA…

It's Saints Row a go-go round GOG today as the store celebrates more of Volition's wacky open-world crime 'em ups arriving DRM-free on its virtual shelves. Some Saints games have been on GOG for ages but now the lineup is complete with the addition of Saints Row 4 (the one where you're the President of the USA) and Gat out of Hell (the one in…

The ghost of THQ is still with us today as some of the publisher’s greatest hits find new life on GOG. Deep Silver and Nordic Games, who bought the rights after THQ's demise, have released Saints Row 2 + 3, Darksiders 1 + 2 and Metro: Last Light Redux on the digital store, all at a discounted price until May 18th. This is the first…

Have You Played? is an endless stream of game recommendations. One a day, every day of the year, perhaps for all time. I think it's my favourite Saints Row game. It doesn't have neon megaskyscrapers, superpowers, or laser guns, but the down-to-earth ultraviolence of Saints Row 2 appeals to me. The 3rd Street Saints were my gang, not my fanclub gushing over how great I…

GameSpy, a relic from times long before the modern Internet - or indeed, games and spies - existed is closing down. This on its own is not surprising as the multiplayer service is, by modern standards, buggy and kind of a joke, but it leaves a startling number of games with their e-wings clipped and their online-heaving hams strung in its wake. How many, you…

I've got to admire Saint's Row: The Third's sheer determination to entirely depart the shores of normality, but at some point it's just going to start frightening people. They'll back away slowly, hands in the air, trying in too-calm voices with tell-tale quavers to say "Hey guy, hey. Hey. Why don't we all just take a deep breath and think about this, huh? It's alright.…

Quick one! LewieP, official RPS MASTER OF PRICES, notes that Saint's Row 2 is now available for £2.50 from THQ's own shop, and you can (apparently) add the serial number to Steam for convenience. He's not sure whether the offer will last until the weekend and the Bargain Bucket. He thought you should know ASAP. We thought you should know ASAP. ASAP, I tell you,…
By way of beautiful/monstrous coda to today's (well, yesterday's. I'm up toooooooooo late) Advent Calendar entry, please enjoy this taste of the Saints Row 2 videogame's singular madness. Occasionally, your self-designed character will sing along to what's playing on the in-game radio. That can be strangled enough by itself, but this... This is what it sounds like when doves die. Or, more accurately, when all…

Feature:
Saints Row 2 is out now on PC in the US, both at retail and on Steam. It doesn't reach Europe until the 30th January. The delay is apparently due to localisation, which seems odd for a months old console game. I've had a copy for a while now, and below is Wot I Think of the single player game. We'll take a look at…
