The good, the bad and the ugly! No, Im not talking about Clint Eastwoods classic western, Im talking about Saints Row 2. The good in Saints Row 2 can be found in the character creation, the customization and the diversity of the missions as well...

From the setting to the gameplay, Saints Row 2 borrows quite a bit from Grand Theft Auto - but it’s not “just another” clone. In fact, on the Xbox, the Saints Row series is probably the best-received of the many open-world carjacking...

MANY might dismiss Saints Row (SR2) as a copycat of Grand Theft Auto (GTA), the indomitable gang leader of the sandbox genre.Although SR2 indeed feels like a compilation of GTAs greatest hits, the former proves that it does have sufficient clout to...
