Never before has a videogame so accurately allowed characters to pantomime taking a dump on a slain enemy. Years from now, when every game has a dozen user-selectable taunts built into it, we'll all look back on August 26's
Saints Row 2 as the game that started the virtual dumping trend. And as this article was posted, in the comparison between
Saints Row 2 and
GTA IV, only the former could claim the virtual, pantomimed dump. Your move,
GTA IV.
There's more to
Saints Row 2, and the rest of it also caters to adolescent boys (or the adolescent boy in us all). You can play co-op with a friend online and just fly helicopters, drive boats, race cars and motorcycles, and otherwise play in the updated Stillwater setting. If you want to follow the story missions--purported to be "darker" than the original by developers--you can both drop in and out of a single-player game in a way that keeps track of each players progress, so you don't miss any content.
But, who are we kidding? THQ had fans of
Saints Row at "pantomimed dump."
