Saints Row 2 Easter Egg Contest
Jul 23 2009, 07:57 by Mattze
The official Saints Row site is giving away a whole load of swag to anyone that can find one of the yet undiscovered Saints Row 2 easter eggs.
1. Your task is to find one specific Easter Egg which was planted into the game by a member of the development team. As of this point in time, I have never seen it documented, and I’ve looked at a ton of forums and YouTube videos. There are a LOT of Easter Eggs within Saints Row 2, but we’re looking for a very specific one. Not that this is not a glitch, this is something that was programmed into the game.
2. You have two weeks to look for and document the specific Easter Egg. If it has not been documented after the first week, I will begin to give out hints as to where to find it.
3. If you believe you have found the specific Easter Egg in question, post a comment in the thread below. Your post can contain any combination of text, pictures, or video. As long as you tell us what the exact Easter Egg is, along with the details surrounding how you found it or how you accomplished it, you can win. I will be following the thread and will try to keep running documentation in the first post with regard to what has been found already.
4. If no one documents the specific Easter Egg after two weeks time (by Noon CST on August 5th), the prize package will be given out to a random community member which has posted an Easter Egg in the comment thread. We will also provide a video on that date showcasing the specific Easter Egg.
I should point out that I know of at least three Easter Eggs which have not been documented as of this news posting. We’re looking for just one out of those three, but if the other two are found, I’ll figure out some sort of prize for those winners as well.
The prizes, as shown above, are as follows;
- SR2 Poster
- SR2 Basketball Jersey (Size XL)
- SR2 Tie
- SR2 License Plate Frame
- SR2 USB Gold Bullet (I believe it’s the 1 GB model)
- SR2 T-Shirt (Any size you’d like and comes with the V logo on the front)
- SR2 Temporary Tattoos
- SR1 Bandana

Saints Row PSP Confirmed By Opeth?
Jul 20 2009, 10:58 by Mattze
Swedish metal band Opeth have announced, via their blog, that their track 'Lotus Eater' will be appearing in a new PSP game called Saints Row.
We may not like playing video games all that much but we do like it when our music is featured on them! Makes us a bit proud even when it's a game as big as Saints Row for the PSP and even prouder when the nice developer people show excellent taste by picking "The Lotus Eater" for it. So if you love playing video games: the game is expected to hit the streets around March 2010.
If this is in fact true then we should be hearing something official from Volition very soon.
