THQ continues to milk the living hell out of its best thing going with today's release of the Penthouse Pack for Saint's Row the Third, bolstering the ranks of players' gangs with a quartet of models from America's minor league nudie mag.

Downloadable content. Everyone hates it—but everyone buys it. Yes, even you in the comments, smart guy. Here's a look at the latest package of extensions and pre-order bonuses designed to crowbar the last dollar out of your wallet. Can you still respect yourself if you buy it?

Remember that silly April Fool's joke from Saints Row the Third about the alien kidnapping the leaders of the Saints and trapping them in a simulated reality with super powers? It's now a standalone expansion due out this fall. Indulge me as I fist pump triumphantly.

Next week, Saints Row: The Third players will get the weirdest DLC for the game yet (and that's counting the gun that launches shark-attacks) with Genki Bowl VII.

Drawing on familiar media representations and cultural histories for the sake of building a female gangster actually seems pretty difficult.

It's tough to top anything that's already in a game as aggressively juvenile and over-the-top as Saints Row the Third, a game that marketed itself with giant dildo weapons. But somehow YouTuber XBLStallion83's done exactly that with this hilarious video that stitches the game's taunt moves into a dance marathon. Using…

In today's gang-related edition of Speak Up on Kotaku, commenter Nameloi wants to get a good look at the face of your Saints Row: The Third gang leader. What hath the game's character customization wrought?

Kanye West's "Power" plays a central, recurring role in Volition's new open-world crime game Saints Row: The Third.

This week, I've been sharing a few short videos to give a sense of what Saints Row: The Third is all about. We've seen a chaotic way to start your day, how to customize your radio stations, and how fun the character creator is, especially with The Zombie Option. For the last video of the week, I wanted to show…

This week, I've been sharing some videos of Volition's new (tremendously fun) open-world crime game Saints Row: The Third. On Monday, we saw how I start each day in Steelport, and yesterday I showed a cool refinement of its custom radio stations.

Yesterday, I showed you a video of how I begin my day in Saints Row: The Third. I said it was emblematic of the game—one sequence that sums up the total experience. Saints Row: The Third is full of such moments. Many of them involve skydiving, or tigers.

In pro wrestling, a chair shot is when you hit someone with a metal folding chair, usually in the head area. You'll see one of those in the Saints Row the Third clip, along with all manner of open-world madness. Since it's out today, you can get your gangstafied crazy on right now.
