The "reveal" trailer of Saints Row 2 released a few days ago. It's pretty uninteresting, but for the sake of making my point, watch it if you haven't already.



The first thing i could think of was, "Wow, that was a minute of nothing." But then I was hit smack in the face with Deja Vu. Didn't I see a trailer like this recently? Something with a bunch of audio and no video, other than a shiny logo slowly coming into focus? Something just feels way too familiar. But Volition couldn't possibly be so bold to blatantly rip off someone else's ideas, right? Wrong...



Now, admittedly, when I first saw the Dark Knight trailer, I was pissed at the lack of information. BUT, I was also excited because it was "FREAKING BATMAN BEGINS 2!!." Any non-fanboy would look at this trailer and say "that was garbage." And I would agree. My question for Volition is this. Was your advertising team so out of ideas that they chose to copy one of the WORST styles for a reveal trailer?

Now don't get me wrong. I love the GTA games. I love pretty much every game that tries to imitate it. So of course, I thoroughly enjoyed Saints Row. But a trailer like this just gets me angry. Whereas the Dark Knight had a following and a hype worthy of a trailer that revealed nothing, it seems as if Volition feels that their sequel is just as popular to warrant such an "infoless" teaser. Well, sorry for sounding like a jerk, Volition, but your games will NEVER be as cool as Batman.

Done.

I'm just going to cut to the chase. My Rock Band Kick pedal snapped right after my dad took his first shot at playing the game. "Meh" i thought, as this had happened to a buddy of mine and was quickly resolved with a trip to the hardware store.

So I'm calling my friend to find out what it was he used to glue the poor, abused pedal. I figure now would be a great time to try out my brand new Call of Duty 4. "Not So!!!!" shouted God, as he hurled a red ring and smacked it right on my 360.

I've had no problems since I got the system when it launched. I laughed in the face of all those poor souls who were unfortunate enough to find death waiting at their 360. I guess karma catches up to us all.

If you're reading this, you've probably noticed two things. One being that I get my religions mixed up, and two being this is my very first post. It has occurred to me that I don't feel the need to let the world know of something unless it either infuriates me or is hilariously inconvenient. This is sadly a case of both. I can't decide whether to laugh or scream. One thing's for sure though. This break is now going to be filled with 24, Die Hard, and World of Warcraft.

RIP 360 We hardly played ye...

Get well soon Rock Band!
