I've often wondered what it would be like to have a clone; someone there to always play co-op with. However, after a while they may get a bit annoying, perhaps try and take over my life?  Clones ain't for me. They are not for Jimmy Torbitson either, he is 'The Saints' biggest fan and is the main focus of some new campaign DLC coming to Saints Row: The Third entitled 'The Trouble with Clones'. For 560 MS Points, or the cash equivalent, you'll get some new story missions, weapons and the chance at 100 more achievement points!

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.

Sometimes, we find things that are so awesome that they speak for themselves.  This is one of those times.  A Special Edition has been spotted (at EBGames Australia, of all places) for Saint's Row the Third.   Here's what you get in this pimped out box.

If you didn't know, today is April 1st.  That means its "April Fools Day" - or a day when the internet is inindated with silly jokes and gags.  The gaming industry traditionally gets in on the action, usually with Blizzard topping the charts with their antics.  While the trailer for Saints Row: The Third might seem like a joke at first - it was actually released yesterday - so its legit.

S'up my fellows, how be it hanging?

I've heard a rumor - somewhere on the internet - that the folks at Co-Optimus actually enjoyed Saints Row 2. Ridiculous humor and solid controls overshadowed its terribly implausible premise. So it shouldn't come as any surprise that Saints Row 3 is a hot item...one that our staff's ears have been on the ground for.

It's looking like a good year for co-op as another great co-op franchise is producing its final sequel set for release in the fourth quarter of this year. Saints Row 3 has officially been slated for an "Autumn 2011" release, but no specifics have been nailed down just yet. For those unfamiliar with the insane, over-the-top gangster action of the series, the first two games on Xbox 360 are available in a $30 double pack to catch up on the chronological story - no combo pack is listed for the PS3 or PC, sorry guys. Sure, Saints Row 1 isn't a co-op game - but developer Volition caught on by Saints Row 2 adding the ability to customize your character and play in a posse (of two).

THQ plans to unveil a Saints Row movie fairly soon, most likely at next month's Spike TV VGA Awards.
