It took me three friggin' days to download the Saints Row demo with two unexplained drops that failed to pick up where they left off. Now after 13 miserable hours, Dead Rising is at a mere 34% complete (How did we live with this before the dashboard update?). Are other people out there experiencing similar looooooong waits for their recent downloads?

Saints Row demo joins the XBLM gang
If your world view is obstructed by the rock under which you live, you may not have noticed that a demo for Saints Row has hit Marketplace. Go get it and tell us what you think.On a side note, posts might be a little wonky for a while, as technical difficulties (my Evil Office Webfilter ®) prevent more timely posts. Please bear with us as we get back up to speed. Of course, if you don't live in America, the posts might actually be more timely.
Anywho, grab the Saints Row demo and tell us how Krunk it is.

Saints Row glitches un-Glocked
Here's your typical pair of 14-year-olds with toddlers in the room exposing some glitches in the demo for one of the year's most non-kid friendly titles, Saints Row.

Down under Saints Row playtest
Our Aussie friends at My360.com.au got a chance to playtest a near final build of Saints Row. In short, it sounds like great fun."Gamers will be pleased to know that Saints Row, from what we saw from the preview code, is far from a GTA-clone. It offers so much more in terms of customization and interaction that it really makes a run for the best GTA-type game out there, considering GTA is pretty much a genre in itself."
Some of the high points:
- Solid controls
- Lots of side missions (insurance fraud? Sweet!)
- Create-a-gangster and ride pimping
- No loading times
- Lots of multiplayer modes
It's the Saints Row circle of life
Xboxyde has a new video of Saints Row showcasing the games day/night cycle and weather system. Watch the sky change in fast motion like and old timey movie! The storm effects and lighting are pretty impressive, as are the rosy sunsets. Saints Row is looking more and more like a pretty decent game, no?

- Music Tracks
- Downloads (gamer pics and theme)
Saints Row Multiplayer Madness
Xboxic clues us into these Saints Row multiplayer shots from Dutch Xbox site XboxWorld. Those of you who've wondered what GTA would be like with multiplayer, look no further. My favorite thing so far is the caption in the above picture:
"The other team's ride has left their base."
Nice. Expect the game to hit shelves on August 29th with a demo available on August 1st.
