Saints Row 2 Shows Off The Full Cast Of Voice Talent Including Jamie Pressly

jaime-pressly Saints Row 2 Shows Off The Full Cast Of Voice Talent Including Jamie Pressly
What were you expecting, a lead off shot of Michael Rappaport? THQ has released a video detailing the cast of Saints Row 2 including Rappaport, Jamie Pressly and Eliza Dushku. Which, going by trailers and an E3 demo alone, looks like a hell of a lot more fun to play than Grand Theft Auto IV. Plus it gave Pressly some more range than her role as Joy on My Name Is Earl, saying of her time contributing to the game, “I can act as sexy as I want.” Hit the jump for the video and a full run down of the cast. Unfortunately it seems like Gary Busey only made it in as a pitch man.

John McCain, Pirate, And Barack Obama Featured In Saints Row 2 Co-Op Trailer

According to the voiceover in the latest video from THQ/Volition for Saints Row 2, “It’s time to form a coalition of the willing to take co-op gameplay to new heights.” I’m a little disappointed. This was a prime chance to introduce the Veeps. I want to see Sarah Palin in a leather mini-skirt and lipstick (lots of it) alongside Joe Biden wearing a hot dog suit. Isn’t that kind of thing the definition of bipartisanship? Trust me, after seeing the E3 demo, they can pull it off. Check the video after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »

Tera Patrick Joins Uncle Gary On The Saints Row 2 Roster

saintsrow Tera Patrick Joins Uncle Gary On The Saints Row 2 Roster
Saints Row 2 is going to kill it. Not because they have added porn star Tera Patrick as a “special producer” or used Gary Busey as a pitch man. However, both of those moves add a certain amount of zest greater than your average jazz hands. During the Saints Row 2 demo at E3 with Volition developers James Tsai and Roje Smith I could tell that they were excited about the game. From a customization standpoint alone the game is pretty staggering. You can play through the entire story as a hardcore thug or change your character into a woman, slap a rictus grin on her face and make her wear a hot dog suit. During the demo Tsai mentioned that they are in the optimization stage of development. I don’t know what kind of input Tera Patrick will have for the game at this point but she’ll probably make a hell of an impression on the Dorito-eaters during her appearance this Saturday at Comic Con.

Saints Row 2 And Gary Busey, It Just Makes Sense

Gary Busey
THQ just pumped out a few more trailers featuring pitchman and ticking timebomb of humanity, Gary Busey. It’s clear that the minds behind Saints Row 2 are going for it, both in terms of the over the top content of the game and its promotion. To get a little more insight into the game we caught up with Volition’s lead designer on the game, Scott Phillips, to talk about their upcoming title. Read the rest of this entry »
