Do you
remember when Grand Theft Auto
first went into the 3D space? The games were parodies of popular
culture and famous mafia movies. The series got more crazy with Vice
City and the send-up of the
excesses of the 1980s. And finally, the over-the-top look at
'gangstas' in San Andres.
The games were all about the crazy, sociopath main characters
inciting violence across town in tanks and skydiving into gun fights.
Then it got serious. Volition, INC, makers of the Saint's
Row series, started off
imitating, but then realized that one of the major draws to
open-world crime games is the overblown action. This brings us to
their crowning achievement: Saint's Row: The Third.
The Third Street Saints in all their glory
