Next week Volition launches Saints Row spin-off Agents of Mayhem, an open-world action adventure featuring a group of super-powered operatives battling an evil organization bent on world domination. I’ve played five hours of the game, and already there’s a lot to like.
The first Saints Row was a passable, if awkward Grand Theft Auto clone. Saints Row 2 is an honest-to-God classic. You can snag for free right now on GOG.
Agents of Mayhem, the newest game from the makers of Saints Row, comes out August 15, the developers at Volition announced today. It’s a single-player open-world game in which you can swap heroes and fight terrorists. Looks colorful.
Saints Row 2 is the greatest sandbox game of all time. Grand Theft Auto 5 has a bigger budget, Saints Row IV gives you superpowers, The Witcher 3 has a better story, and Assassin’s Creed II takes you to far more exotic locales, but Saints Row 2 holds a special place in my heart. It’s not the most original or…
Saints Row IV just added Steam Workshop support. Already, you can download a guitar the shoots fire and some clothes that (sadly) don’t shoot fire. Why now, though? Because Saints Row IV wasn’t originally created with mods in mind, so devs worked in their spare time to make this possible. Very cool of them!
Agents of Mayhem is the new game from Volition, developer of the unabashedly wacky, deceptively smart Saints Row series. If you were hoping for them to rein it in—to say, make a somber period piece set in 1930s Ireland—prepare to be disappointed.
Saints Row developer Volition Studios today announced Agents of Mayhem, a new game that sure seems a lot like Saints Row.
Last night, the developers at Volition did something remarkable. They revealed a cancelled game in their biggest series, Saints Row, and then they set it free, releasing it to the public for anyone to download.
I didn't exactly love Saints Row: Gat Out Of Hell, but it definitely had some great moments. One in particular earns you a weapon that's among the silliest in the entire series—and that's saying something.
"Is that all hell's got?" Johnny Gat, main character of Saints Row: Gat Out Of Hell, would often taunt as I mowed down Satan's demonic hordes. As the game went on, I couldn't help but find myself asking the same question.
Disney can't make a movie about the Devil's daughter anymore, because the Saints Row folks have beat them to it. The musical number from upcoming standalone expansion Gat Out of Hell shown to fans at PAX Prime this September is now available for all to watch.
Last time out, the Saints Row series went crotch-first into superhero sci-fi territory. Now, its newest expansion Gat Out of Hell is going the occult horror route. But the game's creative director Steve Jaros says you don't to worry about them "shitting out variants" to the open-world franchise.
As part of its big PAX panel Volition just announced a new Saints Row. It's called Saints Row: Gat out of Hell, and it'll be out on January 27th.

Being told someone else owns your 2-million-view video is a sure way to ruin a YouTuber's day. It can also be a real downer for the company supposedly making the claim. Especially if YouTube's bot scanner is making thousands of these infuriating claims on their behalf, all because of a mistake.
Ever since we heard about the Xbox One's HDMI input feature—which is intended to route HDMI devices like a cable box through it and "snap" to that program—I've been excited to put it to the test. Could we play another Xbox One through an Xbox One? What about an Xbox 360 hooked into an Xbox One which is itself hooked…
Enter The Dominatrix was originally announced for Saints Row The Third, then turned into a full sequel, now it's DLC again. I think Volition found the perfect way to include their crazy story that began as an April Fool's joke.
See that scantily clad dominatrix? She's your new villain this month in Saints Row IV. You'll be fighting her and her army of sex-workers.
If you find yourself discussing the merits of relationships represented in video games, you'll probably find a lot of people bringing up BioWare games as examples to follow. The Saints Row series doesn't seem like a serious suggestion considering, well, how unserious those games are.
