The best PC games of 2013 - Saints Row IV
I was singing within the first fifteen minutes of playing Saints Row IV. Riding an airborne nuclear missile, belting out Aerosmith's '98 classic "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing", my compatriots below bidding a final farewell to their fearless leader.
It probably sounded horrible. Not only because I'm completely tone deaf, but because I was also bellowing with laughter.
Volition's fourth and best open-world caper is a comedy masterpiece, managing to lampoon countless movies and games without missing a beat, and while it didn't exactly break any new ground with its mechanics or design, fun as they were, it's earned its spot as one of my Games of 2013 because it's so unrelentingly funny.
