 Strategy Informer recently met up with Lead Designer Scott Phillips and Lead Producer Greg Donovan from Volition for some extended hands-on time with Saints Row 2 and a nice chat about hot dog suits, sewage and laughing your ass off. And all with absolutely no bling in sight. With Saint's Row 2 finished, we decided to ask about the possibility of Saint's Row 3, and Scott Philips told us that they will wait until players put their comments out for SR2 and collect that stuff and start working on it then, hopefully. | |

 An invitation sent out apparently gives the greatest official nod yet to an actual Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic MMO game. Of course it could be something else.
The postcard proclaims that the "wait is over" and teases it'll blow open a project that's been "rumored about for years," but no exact reference on what. | |
