I never paid much attention to Saint's Row. Back when it was just getting started was around the time that I was losing interest in the GTA formula. I used to love GTA, from the very beginning all the way through Vice City. But something changed with San Andreas, and the series went from mostly light-hearted balls-out fun to "super-serious-mode: ACTIVATE!" and Saint's Row, at least the first one, started out with a more "serious" feel. So when Saint's Row 2 came out I ignored it, not realizing Volition had wised up and brought back the fun. And of course that lead to also ignoring Saint's Row: The Third.

That is, until a friend introduced me to the game about a year and a half ago... and then a curious thing happend, the guys at Humble Bundle teamed up with the then-dying THQ to offer a bundle of several of their games, and both Saint's Row 2 and 3 happened to be on it. So I grabbed it. And then a Steam sale came around with all the DLC for a few bucks. So I grabbed it. And yet I still did not play. Life is weird sometimes.

But now. Now it's time.

My first playthrough is going to mostly be me solo I suspect, but occasionally there will be co-op hoppers-on to assist in the mayhem. My intention is to get through the story ... relatively quickly? Because I also want to get to Saint's Row 4, and 2 if it's not too difficult to mod and the PC port isn't absolute dung. And then have a series of one-off co-op destroy-all-the-things fests whenever the mood strikes.
