Saints Row Teaser

Saints Row 3 has been on my radar ever since it opened up with what *has* to be the best damn teaser trailer ever.
The game is easiest to describe as a sandbox game with no rules and disregard to even its own genre. It's there to have fun and provoke.
Its developer once famously quoted "Our game philosophy is: why give players a baseball bat when you can give them a giant phallic weapon" and "We're an equal opportunity defender, you can nutshot even women"
And that pretty much sums up the game, nor can I disagree with such flawless yet outrageous logic. It's completely over the top and bigger-than-life, and that message just oozes out of its latest trailer. You can watch it here:



A gang based on luchadors, with the leader called Killbane, the Walking Apocalypse (As if Killbane alone isn't adequate enough) To top it off, how to better represent the game and its bigger-than-life genre than actually have Hulk Hogan himself do the voice-over for Angel de la Muerte.

My only criticism is that the previous games were quite atrocious on the PC platform, with the second instalment suffering from technical issues, and I have a feeling the third instalment will be best enjoyed on a console as well. So bear that in mind.
