Saints Row: The Third is a DLC machine. THQ's open-world action funhouse seems to drop new content on a weekly basis, be it new outfits, vehicles, or story missions. The three different types of content form a nice Neapolitan mix for everyone. Today we have updates on all three flavors of DLC.

THQ has been a company on the brink of being delisted from the NASDAQ stock exchange due to poor financial results and a low stock price.  But things are on the up and up for the company after yesterdays financial report revealed that the two player co-op open world game, Saints Row The Third, sold much better than expectations.  

Saint's Row The Third is getting a new batch of DLC today.  "The Trouble With Clones" features one very problematic clone, as well as a few new super powers for your Third Street alter ego.  There's a little more to it than that, but then I'd be delving into some minor spoilers from the main game.  You can expect the usual Saint's Row debauchery.  Check out the trailer below to get your science fix.

I've often wondered what it would be like to have a clone; someone there to always play co-op with. However, after a while they may get a bit annoying, perhaps try and take over my life?  Clones ain't for me. They are not for Jimmy Torbitson either, he is 'The Saints' biggest fan and is the main focus of some new campaign DLC coming to Saints Row: The Third entitled 'The Trouble with Clones'. For 560 MS Points, or the cash equivalent, you'll get some new story missions, weapons and the chance at 100 more achievement points!

And people are complaining about zombies plaguing the video game industry…

The second mission-based DLC for Saints Row: The Third, "Gangstas in Space," dropped this week.   I put it through its paces and I'm going to let you know if it's worth your hard earned (or easily stolen) cash.  As an added bonus, I'll give my impressions on SRTT's other mission-based DLC, "Genkibowl VII," because I just realized we haven't covered it yet.  That's two impression pieces for the price of one!

Amazon continues its streak of solid deals on downloadable PC games.  This time in their "Farewell to February" sale they have a handful of co-op titles for some low prices included the recently released Darkness II and last years hilariously awesome open world game, Saints Row the Third.  Both of those games are only $25.  

SPACE: The final frontier. These are the voyages of Saints Row: The Third. Its mission: To explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no gangsta has gone before. The latest mission based DLC for Saints Row: The Third blasts off today in the form of 'Gangstas in Space', priced at $6.99, or free for season pass holders.

It's not often a real life homie gets to be your virtual homie in a game, but such is the case with the new Saints Row: The Third DLC coming out on January 17th.  The Cheapy D DLC will be available on all three versions of the game and will give you access to Cheap Ass Gamer's founder CheapyD.  You'll be able to call him up on your phone to join your gang of scantily clad ninjas to deal with the many gangs of the game.

I think we can all agree, Saints Row: The Third is a damn fun game.  I think we can also agree that the real gangsters are working at THQ.  Two bucks for some outfits?  What the hell, guys?  I understand that everyone likes to make money, but SR3 feels like it's been parted out and sold to us through a chop shop.  Oh well, if you don't like it, don't buy it.  I, however, need a samurai mask and warrior princess underoos for my character, so it looks like the joke is on me.

The Saints Row: The Third website has finally got their stat tracking in working order.  Yup, I still have 100% of everything done, but I'm still missing a few chievos.  C'est la vie.  I don't know what I'm more surprised by, the fact that I've only killed 9,660 people or that I've actually put 48 hours into the game.  Where do I find the time? Oh, that's right - I haven't slept more than five hours straight since September 6th.  You can see how much time of your life you've spent in Steelport, (and a host of other stats) by logging into the site. 

Have you still not picked up Saints Row: The Third?  Are you allergic to awesome?  I know, I know.  A lot of killer games came out recently.  When you get sick of playing "soldier" with children, or finally get tired of roaming a mostly empty, buggy mess while screaming dragon gibberish like a demented crazy person, strap on a man's game and let your freak flag fly.  

Looks like PlayStation 3 owners won't be receiving exclusive content for Saints Row: The Third.  What content is that?  No one knows.  Apparently a Sony exec claimed that the PS3 version would have an exclusive mode back at E3 2011, but there has been no further mention of the mystery content by either Sony, Volition, or THQ.   

Saints Row: The Third steps out from GTA's shadow to move in its own insane direction. Is this a faulty misstep or a stroke of crazed genius? Find out if it works in our Co-Op Review.

THQ has already announced that Saints Row: The Third will have "about 40 weeks worth of downloadable digital content after the launch."  This is great news for any up-and-coming Third Street gangster.  The bad news is that you'll have to pay for it.  This is the company that blocked system link with an online pass, which is not to be confused with the recently announced Saints Row Season Pass.  The Season Pass will net you the first four DLCs for about 15% off.
