A little light hearted humor would be a nice change of pace.
I give it a day before the fundies start frothing at the mouth though.
I now regret Hillary didn't win the nomination as it would of been funny if she was in the commercial for a violent video game. xD
Yeah, 'cuz fundies are the only ones who froth at the mouth...
Oh no... rabid animals do too :D
Like he said, only fundies.
FIRST!
United we Stand, Divided we fall.
Oh, damnit.
United we Stand, Divided we fall.

How long will it be until we see politictions get all butthurt by this?
-Snow_Storm of the ECA fourms
I think that's the point.
I doubt we will see either McCain or Obama get all pissy about it.
Both candidates seem to be kind of on the same page in regards to gaming. It is nothing big nor is it anything small, but being as there is a war, a jacked up economy, and real need for alternative fuel and energy sources to be explored and implemented as a national standard, there are much bigger fish to fry.
GamePolitics puts me in that kind of mindset...
What I heard: 'It's time to lay aside our differences, and ban together as teams for the greater good of society.'
BWAAAHAAAAHAAAAA!
I thought that was actually really clever, it looks like fun to throw explosive boxes out of the back of a truck.
Oh and I don't know why you guys think people will be upset by this. For starters, they're presidential nominees so it's to be expected they'd be parodied.
ROFL
AWESOME!
Epic. beautifully epic
I wonder if it would've been better if they were throwing explosives out of the straight talk express instead of just some regular bus.
That was awesome XD
I loved seeing Obama toss explosives out of the back of a bus, and McCain smash a knee into that guy's face.
But then there's the DEEPER message here, people: put aside your political disagreements and go play some video games!
Yeah because we must band together and defeat the randomly assorted people on the other team, so grab your rockets.
Yippe Kay Yay Mr. McCain...
God save the Queen??... WTF?
OK So I've never played saints row - maybe I'm missing a reference
In America, we stole it for "My Country 'Tis of Thee."
Sorry, Brits! :)
That was awesome, Pirates and Ninjas :D.
uhhh.. Saints Row is like GTA's incredibly immature little brother. This shit is'nt even really that clever.
Not true. Saint's Row is more like GTA's goofy fun-loving cousin. SR2 looks to do what GTA4 didn't... and that is offer fun video gamey stuff to do (albeit probably not that well execeuted).
agree - and to haven't a storyline to fdollow is a plus to me, a very relaxing game
Waiiiit.... did they say the coop was only through online?
Please tell me I didn't just hear that.
LOL!
That was actually pretty funny.
hahah kudos to voiliton and THQ
they honestly have some major balls, GTA bashing now this! hellz yeah.
not to mention that saints row was actually a decent game, which i plan on buying over GTA
