Saints Row 2

This game is incredibly childish and puerile. Side missions include spraying liquid poop all over property to decrease it's value and throwing your character into oncoming traffic so you can claim compensation. The story is ridiculous, the voice acting is generally pretty terrible and at least a third of the script is made up of F bombs. However. I honestly can't remember having more fun with an Xbox 360 game. Played in co-op with someone who is willing to spend just as much time as you are with the side missions, car surfing, dancing, attacking people while you are dressed like a pimp and feeling guilty that even in your mid twenties you still find farting hilarious, this game just can't be beaten for pure silly fun. On your own it's a different matter and the game is fairly dull and frustrating. If you have a regular co-op buddy though and you still haven't given this a try, you really should. That way you can laugh yourselves silly or both judge me for liking such puerile garbage.

This is a lot like GTA4 ,but it takes itself less seriously and has great co-op over xbox live where you can play the whole campaign with a friend from start to finish. You are the leader of the Saints, a gang which has long since disbanded, and its your job to resurrect it from the ashes. The main story has you fighting for control of parts of the city from 4 rival gangs.As you progress you will find plenty to do upgrading your "crib" and palying the numoruous side missions. There is even a game inside the game called Zombie Uprising. Overall this game is a blast and I would highly recommend it. Lost 1 star becuase of some frame rate issues at the start of the game,but once the boat jail break scene is finished it runs fine.
