Saints Row: The Third perfectly epitomizes how the bustling city life necessitates a time for relaxation and entertainment such as browsing the library, recharging at the local cafe, and blasting strangers out of a car-mounted cannon.

Video Blips:

• You'll know why we picked Saints Row: The Third as E3 2011's Best of THQ after viewing this ridiculously over-the-top gameplay video. It's futile highlighting just one thing in these seven minutes of chaos, so watch all of it!

Continue after the break for the usurpation of a brutal Alderaanian king in Star Wars: The Old Republic, turning tears in time to your favor in BioShock Infinite, and a summer carnival you shouldn't miss in Killing Floor.

 

• A remorseless ruler meets the lightsaber of justice on Alderaan in Star Wars: The Old Republic. A simple rule of thumb: If a person's helmet looks like a fancy popcorn bucket, they're probably evil.


• BioShock Infinite Creative Director Ken Levine explains Elizabeth's skill of yanking objects out of the past or future into Columbia. Teleporting a dead horse in front of a theater showing Revenge of the Jedi (Return of the Jedi's original name)? Way to symbolize the direction of that franchise, Levine.


• Killing Floor's Summer Sideshow event brushes everything with a steampunk style and introduces new enemies such as Pukey the Clown. This is probably what happens when someone doesn't pay their ticket admission price.
