Saints Row: The Third Leaked One Month Before Release

Okay, this is really shocking – and at the same time disappointing – to say the least. The PC version of Saints Row: The Third has just been leaked to various torrent sites and no, this is not a joke. According to our sources, this is a Clone DVD version and weights around 8.56GB.

Saints Row: The Third – Shock and Awesome Trailer

We seriously don’t know whether THQ and Volition went too far with this new trailer or not. This is a parody of COD: MW3 and Battlefield 3 and although it’s kind of cool, we can’t see the reason behind it. Surely all the aforementioned games are coming in the same month but Saints Row: The Third is an over-the-top fun sandbox game, whereas COD: MW3 and BF3 are pure FPS games. In other words, they are addressed to completely different players. The only logical explanation is that THQ wanted to attract as many players as possible. And they’ve succeeded but still, it can be considered a bit lame. Enjoy the trailer and tell us your thoughts. Continue reading Saints Row: The Third – Shock and Awesome Trailer
