Today, combined with the continued upswing of the U.S. stock market, comes the release of THQ’s [THQI] second installment of the Saints Row series, Saints Row 2 (SR2).
It will be interesting to see whether any of the tips I mentioned about the first Saints Row game will still be usable (and transferable wholesale) in SR2. Nevertheless, for Saints Row fans, this is going to be an exciting day for those fetching their copies of the game today (and in the following days, ‘natch).
And even GTA IV fans should take a peek at SR2 to see if it appeals to them (and, most likely, it should)… 
Live Stream of Launch
If you’re interested in the Saints Row 2 launch, THQ has mentioned on their blog that there will be a live stream of it, and the link for it (or just more details about it) should be presented on the blog around 9:30 AM CT (that’d be about 10:30 AM ET).
N.B.
Wow, quite a financial session this morning (and it’s only been open in the U.S. for a mere half-hour)… Now it’s a big question as to whether playing Saints Row 2 is preferable over playing the stock market for the next several days. I know a LOT of you (and you know who you are, because you’ve been quite active with your E-mails lately!) have been struggling with this since last week, when the SEC short sale ban expired back on October 8.
