News Saints Row IV and All of Its DLC Gets Re-Elected on PS4 Next Year
We should have known
We were busy typing away about the rather surprising reveal of Saints Row: Gat out of Hell, when suddenly, developer Volition decided to throw a slightly less shocking announcement our way. That's right, the PlayStation 4 is getting another last-gen port, and this time, it's the wacky Saints Row IV, which now comes with the...
News Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell is Coming to PS4, and It's, Er, a Standalone Expansion Pack
Gone when the morning comes
Well, we didn't see that one coming. As you've no doubt heard, publisher Deep Silver released a Saints Row teaser image over Twitter earlier today, and with developer Volition hosting a panel at this year's PAX convention this evening, it seemed all but assured that the crazy sandbox franchise would be making an...

News Save Santa from the Simulation in Seasonal Saints Row IV DLC
Yule like this one
North American developer Volition’s silly sandbox excursion Saints Row IV is set to refresh this winter with a spot of seasonal cheer. Fans of the open world adventure will be able to rip open a new add-on from 11th December, which will detail the Saints’ attempts to save Santa Claus from a Matrix-esque simulation. Judging by...

DLC Review Jerking Around in Saints Row IV: Enter The Dominatrix
Strap off
Since Saints Row: The Third, Volition's franchise has built itself up as the stupidest open world game available, constantly breaking the fourth wall, jamming popular culture references into just about every line of dialogue, and generally just being very, very self aware. Saints Row IV's first mission-based DLC comes in the form of Enter...

News Saints Row IV Skulks into the Dominatrix on 23rd October
Computational chaos
Saints Row IV’s previously announced ‘Enter the Dominatrix’ expansion pack will deploy on digital store aisles prompter than you can chug a can of Saints Flow. In a press release hand delivered to Push Square towers by Johnny Gat himself, publisher Deep Silver has confirmed that the content will tickle your sides from 23rd...

News UK Sales Charts: Saints Row IV Enjoys the Calm Before the Storm
Cloud cover
Volition’s agreeable sandbox romp Saints Row IV has managed a fourth consecutive week at the top of the UK sales charts – but we’ve got a feeling that it won’t be staying there for much longer. This week’s best sellers list is peppered with heavy hitters – including Kingdom Hearts 1.5 ReMIX in second, Diablo III in third, and

Weirdness Saints Row IV Conveniently Cashes GATV Add-On Next Week
Smooth move
Considering that the Saints Row series started life as a cheap Grand Theft Auto knock-off, it’s amazing how much the franchises have diverged. While the previous instalment in Rockstar’s sandbox series adopted a more realistic guise, Volition Software’s own property has backflipped off the side of a cliff wearing a tutu. Still,...

News UK Sales Charts: Saints Row IV Still Current Incumbent, Lost Planet 3 Burrows Deep
Killer Is Dead fails to entice the general public
Two of last week’s big new releases did not inject much enthusiasm into the UK sales charts. Lost Planet 3 got off to a dismal start, digging itself into 26th position. Meanwhile, the latest title from Grasshopper Manufacture mustered an even more disappointing debut, with Killer Is Dead loosening...

News UK Sales Charts: Saints Row IV Takes the Seat at the Summit
Inauguration station
Saints Row IV has been sworn in at the top of the UK sales charts, fending off strong competition from Splinter Cell: Blacklist. Ubisoft’s sneak-‘em-up settled its night vision goggles on second place, while pricey toy platform Disney Infinity finished in third. Isn’t it nice to be able to talk about some new games for a...

Weirdness Saints Row IV's Wad Wad Edition Costs a Million Bucks
Money bags
Another day, another Saints Row IV publicity stunt – except this one seems to be having the desired effect. Deep Silver has partnered with GAME to announce the sandbox adventure's one-of-a-kind ‘Super Dangerous Wad Wad Edition', which will set you back a cool $1,000,000 to own. No, we’re not making this up. So, what does the...

News Prep Your President with Saints Row IV's Inauguration Station
Your short shorts are ready, Mr. President
Much like with Saints Row: The Third's Initiation Station demo, you'll be able to create, customise, and upload your own Saints boss for Saints Row IV using the cleverly titled Inauguration Station, which is set to release tomorrow on the European PlayStation Store, and next Tuesday in North America. From...

News Johnny Gat Is Back with a Vengeance in Saints Row IV
Here's Johnny
Much to the disappointment and rage of many, Volition decided to kill off fan favourite character Johnny Gat during the opening hour of Saints Row: The Third. Despite reappearing as a zombie later in the game, and as a giant mutant in the 'The Trouble with Clones' DLC, these cameos weren't really enough to appease the disgruntled...

News Saints Row IV Declares Its Independence with Ridiculous New Trailer
"Welcome to Earth!"
As if we needed any further convincing that the Saints Row franchise has gone completely insane, this new Independence Day trailer for Saints Row IV is probably the most ridiculous promotion that we've seen for the upcoming release thus far. Characteristically full of swearing, stupid dialogue, and explosions, our latest glimpse...

News Alien Anal Probe Ensures That Saints Row 4 Is Banned In Australia
Causing trouble Down Under
Saints Row: The Third became infamous for its dildo-shaped weapon, and it would appear that its sequel is trying to be even more tasteless. It showcases an item known as an "Alien Anal Probe", which can be inserted into the bottoms of unsuspecting foes. Unsurprisingly, the inclusion of this weapon has resulted in the game...

News Saints Row IV's Box Art Sets the Scene Surprisingly Well
A picture paints a thousand words
Could the box art for Saints Row IV possibly be any more perfect? It shows an image of the President of the United States – that’s you, by the way – sitting in a swish armchair in what appears to be the Oval Office, while a couple of gun-toting girls in pencil skirts point submachine guns at a giant energy...

News Saints Row IV's 'Merica Machine Gun Is Perfectly Patriotic
Necessary artillery
If there’s anything that Americans hate more than commies, it’s not being armed to the teeth. Fortunately, Saints Row IV’s wonderfully tongue-in-cheek ‘Commander in Chief’ special edition recognises that fact, bundling the ultimate ‘Merica machine gun. The Swiss army knife of firepower boasts mini-guns, flamethrowers,...

News Saints Row IV Aims to Make Politics Interesting Again
Dubstep makes it possible
Election campaigns are tedious, and developer Volition knows it. The world needs action, not another rousing speech – which is perhaps why Saints Row IV’s protagonist is the perfect fit for president. As opposed to empty promises and image enhancing drives, the character prefers to use his super powers for the good of...

News Saints Row IV Runs for President from 20th August
Alien invasions and more
Saints Row IV may have to compete with the juggernaut that is Gran Theft Auto V later this year – but at least it has a bonkers enough premise to back it up. The sequel sees the continuation of the story of the Third Street Saints, who have taken control of the free world due to the election of their leader as the...
