After a delay of a few months, the wraps come off of the PC version of Saints Row 2.  This is the first time that a game in the Saints Row franchise has come to the PC platform, and the game is available on both Steam and Direct2Drive for $39.95.  It is also available at retail, but who buys PC games at retail.

Saints Row 2 picks up the story five years after the events from the first Saints Row, and has you waking up out a coma, and finding that the city of Stillwater has changed, including the gangs that now run the territories around town.  You play the game through co-op, single player or in multiplayer rooms, and offers a lot of mini-games and activities to play instead of the main campaign.
