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.

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.

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!

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.

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.   

This is it folks. The last big week for co-op releases.  There are still a few games coming out this year, but tomorrow marks the last day of the season with multiple retail co-op launches.  I hope your wallets are intact.

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.

Saints Row: The Third comes out next week. You've probably seen a video or two of the game's brazen debauchery on this very sight.  Today we have not one, not two, not three, not four, but FIVE new videos!  Actually, it's four new videos.  One is a trailer followed by a longer, 13 minutes live action version of Professor Genki's Super Ethical Reality Climax.  I figured the trailer could serve as a warning before you willingly gave yourself brain damage.  Seriously, it's 13 minutes of WTF.  And remember, picture all of the in-game videos with another player, because the entire game supports two player online co-op!

It should come as a shock to NO ONE that Saints Row: The Third will require an online pass for online co-operative play.  The above image is from my review copy.  I didn't bother blurring out the code, because, well, I already used it.  Here's the kicker: you can't play via system link without an online pass code!  I tried it out with my other Xbox 360, and it wouldn't let me access any of the co-op features, via online or system link, without a code.  What a kick in the teeth.   

Saints Row: The Third is at it again. No, your eyes do not deceive you! That's an astronaut riding an ATV with spiked hubcaps through the streets of Steelport. Is he making an obscene gesture to the crowd? Perhaps he's wishing them all a good day? You'll have to watch the video to find out. After seeing this impressive gameplay footage, I think you'll have to agree: Saint's Row: Third is truly the Chardee MacDennis of video games.

The Saints Row: The Third Initiation Station is in its beta phase.  What the hell is an "initiation station?"  Why it's an honest to goodness character creator!  Of course, there is a Saints Row twist.  You can see what the community has come up with right here.  Yup.  That's happening.  Not only can you customize your character, you can also give them some obscene gestures!  I think "Pillow Princess" may get my vote for "the most awkward gesture to view in polite company," but there are many others that are just as bad.
