It's been nearly nine years since Saints Row: The Third glimpsed a world in which the eponymous Saints had reached celebrity status, and what a world it was. Luckily, we no longer have to daydream about such a place (or bust out our old consoles to explore it), because Saints Row: The Third Remastered is releasing on May 22nd.
It's a tale as old as time. Gangster becomes president. President gains superpowers. Superpowerful president defends the earth from aliens. You've heard it a thousand times, and you'll hear it once more when Saints Row IV: Re-Elected makes its way to the Nintendo Switch on March 27th.
You read that title correctly. Saints Row 2, the second entry in the Saints Row franchise, a title that is now 11 years old, will be receiving a patch on the PC before we know it. The update comes due to Volition, the Saint’s Row series developer, finally finding the source code for the PC version of the game, the port of which was handled by an outside studio. While this is both official and delightful news - especially the bit about co-op working now - the timeframe when the PC version will be patched and content added are still yet to be announced. With Volition also working on Saints Row 5, it could be some time before we see this come to fruition.
Saints Row the Third may be an 8 year old game, but since that didn’t stop Skyrim from making its way to Nintendo’s most recent console, why should the Sixth Street Saints let it stop them? They shouldn’t and they won’t, so Saints Row the Third will come to Nintendo Switch May 11th. This will be the “Full Package” edition, which includes all of the DLC and all new “couch” co-op, which is something we here at Co-optimus are very excited about.
Microsoft's "Netflix for video games" is starting to look like a better deal all the time as the catalog of titles available to play continues to grow. As of today, October 3, there are 137 games available to download and play, and of those, 48 are co-op games.
While it might be over three years old at this point, Saints Row IV is still going strong on the PC. The modding community has been providing new weapons, outfits, and more for the title for quite some time, and now, that content can get added to the game directly from Steam as Workshop integration is available.
Before M$ had the idea to give away a couple of 'free' games every month, PlayStation were offering the service. Yes, this may be because PS+ is a paid service, but a game for $0(ish) is nothing to be scoffed at. The protagonists of the Saints Row series are used to taking things for nothing, so don't feel bad that in July you will get Saints Row: Gat out of Hell for nada.
The Games with Gold for April features two co-op titles for your gaming pleasure. On the Xbox One, you'll be able to pick up Sunset Overdrive while on the Xbox 360 you can snag Saint's Row IV. Both titles will be free for a limited period of time!
Summer is a great time to stay in doors and play video games, especially if you live in an area where it's in the 80s and it's humid all day every day. If you own an Xbox One, your chance to pick up a lot of co-op games for cheap starts tomorrow with Microsoft's "Ultimate Game Sale," with a fair number of titles being discounted up to 50% off.
Xbox people, listen up! This week's Deals with Gold spotlight sale is one you don't want to miss. In fact, you might even say it's your destiny to buy at least one of the games. Because... Destiny, you see? Yeah yeah, I know. Into the pun punishment corner I go.
One of the hallmarks of console gaming in recent years is the rise of the "HD" remake, and with the new generation of consoles, the new trend is to offer games from last generation with improved performance and a handful of graphical upgrades. Saints Row IV: Re-Elected is one such package, and it comes with a new, standalone expansion: Gat Out of Hell.
