If you get through the amazingly dire intro then you deserve some sort of xbox live achievement.

I played for 20, just to see if I could. Then it froze on me.

I think my 360 rejected it. Everyone else seems to like it, although I've no idea how. It's so wanna-be thug I want to put a bullet through it. I'll even hold the gun properly rather than sideways, which is one of my most hated affectations ever.

Not sure what to make of the Ninetynine Nights demo. Is that all there is to the game? Running around and whacking bad guys? It just seems like someone watched the mass battle scenes in LotR and was desperate to make a game of it.

Will try the Saint's Row demo later today.

PGR 3 Photo Contest

Win Prizes!
Now this is cool..Bizzare Creations, the minds behind â€˜Project Gotham Racing 3â€™ are having a photo contest. If you win, you could grab some cool prizes like a PGR3 faceplate, limited edition T Shirts and more. Thatâ€™s great...but whatâ€™s really different is how it works: In PGR3 you now have the ability (with the Style Pack update) to take in-game photos and get them out of your Xbox 360 and on the web. Complete details here. For those of you keeping track, this the first title that allows you to get user generated content out of your Xbox 360 (legally) and onto the web/computer.

I just pressed the Y button and missed all that shite out. I'm surprised Rockstar can't sue for this, it's just GTA under a different name!

I suppose it's just another genre like FPS' and platform games, probably very hard or impossible to copyright or patent every last detail. I'm glad other devs are exploring the possibilities of the genre, but after playing the Saint's Row demo last night I wonder why they fucking bother. It's not even close to being as good Liberty City Stories which is hardly a fresh game now. No-one else can get the humour right, or just nail the pleasure of cruising around doing nothing much in particular.

Too many jaywalkers for my liking.

In the end I just kept going and ran them all over.

It seemed the pedestrians were better at dodging you in Saints Row than the GTA Titles.

Only played SR for about 5 minutes this morning - was impressed by the level of detail in the player models but not so impressed with the speed - it seemed to be a little chuggy - but I'm not going to base my whole opinion on 5 minutes of gameplay.

I need to experiment a little more and see what I think........

It's more than a little shameless in its 'homage' to GTA isn't it? Played it for about half an hour, and have yet to see an original idea...

Might fish it out the bargain bin if I've got nothing more interesting to play.

Nice ragdolls though.

While I was driving along (the road) the pedestrians were throwing themselves underneath my car!

Yea, its only saving grace is the way you can kick people up the arse and they fall over and roll about.
