The gritty but light-hearted "Saints Row" universe gives THQ some interesting options for their promotional events.
Last night in San Francisco, THQ held a small-ish event to show off the many multiplayer options available in "Saints Row 2" -- more on that tomorrow.
Tonight, I want to give you a look at what the event itself was like. THQ had plenty of interesting things to look at…
