Ah Saints Row. Volition’s GTA clone has always held a special place in my heart, offering a series of throwaway crime capers that are just stupid enough to be endearing.

Our Ed played four hours of the upcoming reboot at a recent preview event, exploring the city of Santo Ileso to see what’s new this time around. Keen to hear all about the game, I asked Ed to tell me four things he liked about Saints Row as well as a few things that made him shake his head and sigh a lot.

Enjoy.
