There are no idle threats in Stilwater. This once postcard-perfect city is now a criminal’s paradise where 4 rival gangs fight over control and every insult is an invitation to war. Under threat from rival gangs and corrupt officials, the 3rd Street Saints must conquer the city of Stilwater or face destruction.
Saint’s Row is described by developer Volition as a free-roaming, urban mayhem game. And while Grand Theft Auto only has a single-player mode on consoles, in Saint’s Row you can go online to recruit members into your own gang to earn money and challenge rival gangs. Release dates are: August 29th in the US and September 1st in Europe, with a demo coming to Xbox Live globally on August 1st.

Well, at least with GTA 4 still well over a year away, this might be your best console bet to get some gang wars going.
