In Saints Row: The Third, The Third Street Saints are now bonafide international celebrities, with everything from their own brand of energy drinks to popular clothing line, with a media empire and success known around the globe. Of course it isn’t without its problems, and issues certainly arise in the open and seamless city of Steelport, which while not gamebreaking, do detract from the overall experience. While Saints Row isn’t genre defining or breaking new ground, it is a clear example of a game done right. Saints Row: The Third is one such game, a glittering and oh so shiny gem that stands out among the rest - made even more impressive with the sea of games that warrant your attention this holiday season. Sometimes we have to endure some real stinkers, and other times we get lucky when true gems come along that remind us brilliantly why we love video games so much. When we aren’t jet setting around the globe in our private jets and swimming in our Scrooge McDuck-sized pools of gold, we occasionally take breaks to, you know, review games. You might be surprised to find out that the life of a video game reviewer isn’t all champagne kisses and caviar dreams.
