Saints Row The Third: Reviewing the Gang Game!

For those thriving on the action and adventure packed virtual gaming world, the Saints Row The Third is a highly anticipated game, offering all the action-packed gaming abilities in a single chapter, the third of the Saints Row series. Developed by Volition and published by THQ for the Xbox 360, the game promises to get bigger and better than the previous Saints Row 2, which came out in 2008.

With adrenaline-surging game sequences involving dramatic graphics aimed at focusing all fun and thrill of the virtual world in the game, the Saints Row has scored high on entertainment and promises to live up to the high expectations with the Saints Row The Third.

Saints Row the Third: What the new game unleashes
The plot is around the gang – the Saints, who have reigned over Stilwater after pushing aside the Ultor Corporation at the end of Saints Row 2. New founded popularity and an attempt on a bank which lands them in jail, the connection being the crime organization Syndicate, which is the bank’s owner, follow.

An ensuing business deal proposal in which the crime organization demands right over the Saints’ property in Stilwater, followed by a duel on the non-acceptance of the deal by the Saints’ leader occurs, leading to the Saints shifting to Steelport. The Syndicate looks to establish control over Steelport too, with smuggling, gambling, etc. with the help of three gangs.
The Saints look to re-gain their hold over Steelport with fights between them and the gangs of Syndicate. The player in the game is leader of the Saints, going about the action sequences and fights between the gangs, facing obstacles and tackling the Government’s anti-violence actions.

The feature that Saints Row the Third promises is an intertwining of the storylines with each Syndicate gang, rather than the separate dealings seen in the previous chapters, with sophisticated decision making introduced to the player. Interactions with one gang influence those with the other, and the various activities and side-missions which help the Saints earn money, weapons and respect.

The Third utilizes respect to garner experience points to enhance skills of the player and money to introduce customized features (appearance, etc) to the gang. A choice in the decision-making while fighting a gang is another gaming feature seen in the Third, with an introduction of modern weapons that empower the Saints to call airstrikes upon the enemy or use electric bugs.
The most prominent feature to be looked out for is the speeding up of certain actions, allowing for a greater surge of action; for example, the car physics have been up-graded to almost real speed-driving, with greater controls and effects.
Up-graded Technical look!

The technical tweaks that Saints Row the Third has brought in include the improvised visual effects, making the player characters seem more real, with up-graded graphics lending a modern feel.
Animations have been given a complete overhaul as well, so don’t be surprised if you can dive through a closed window into the seat while car-jacking! So are the combat sequences, which introduce high-performance animations not seen in the previous chapters.

Gear up for a new action-packed world with the Saints Row the Third!

Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure Review

First impressions of Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure aren’t good. There’s a new peripheral to clutter the living room, a collectable range of toys required to play the game, and the reappearance of a tried and tested video game character–all the components needed for a cynical money-making scheme. Ironically, however, it’s the toys and how they are used in the game that turn what might have been a derivative action platformer into something much more interesting.

PowerUp Heroes review: Clap your hands, stomp your feet

If your childhood was anything like mine, you spent a good deal of time wishing you could fly, or move stuff with your mind, or that you had Wolverine claws. My summers spent at the public pool weren’t full of swimming so much as they were full of me splashing water and yelling “Hadouken!” a whole bunch. Continue Reading at joystiq

Rocksmith review: Drop-D minus

Video games, by design, are meant to impart fantasy; they let us make believe that we as people are more incredible than we actually are, or that there’s more to the world around us than we realize. They’re a way to bridge the gap between the possible and the impossible, and music games like Rock Band and Guitar Hero help the musically unskilled escape their lack of real-world training. Even though it’s not really like playing a guitar, those games still require skill and concentration, and can be just as satisfying as a result. Continue Reading at Joystiq
