Saints Row The Third: Tim & Eric & Genki Episode

So a little while back, we were informed that Tim & Eric would be spreading their unique form of comedy into the world of Saints Row: The Third. More specifically, they decided to bring Professor Genki and his Super Ethical Reality Climax game show to life.

So without further delay, head down the page to watch the full video, but I should warn you, it’s one of the strangest, most random game related videos that I have personally seen…Seriously messed up. Despite the randomness, it’s still quite funny at times, even if you’re just laughing out of sheer confusion.

Saints Row: The Third will be out next week for Xbox 360 and PS3! Don’t forget to preorder it if you want the bonuses such as the Octopus Gun, Man-A-Pult and Stunt Suit. If you somehow manage to comprehend what you watched below, then feel free to share your thoughts in the comment section with us!

Mass Effect 3 Beta Gameplay Trailer

You may or may not have heard that late last week the Mass Effect 3 Beta was accidentally leaked to certain Xbox Live accounts and in the ensuing chaos shaky cam footage and screenshots hit the internet. So to spare your eyes the horror, Bioware have released a trailer showing off most of the moments from the beta in pleasantly clear footage.

A Bioware representative has since come out and said the accidental release was due to “human error” on the part of someone over at Microsoft. The internal beta was accidentally flagged for release to those who had signed up for the new Xbox Live Dashboard beta.

Aside from containing both singleplayer and multiplayer, the beta revealed new options players could choose at the start of the game: “Action Mode”, “Story Mode”, and “RPG mode”. Action Mode would streamline conversations, cutting out most decision making, and focus on the shooting, Story Mode would make the combat far easier and allow full decision making, and RPG Mode is the best of the both – the classic Mass Effect experience we’ve come to know and love.

Check out the video below, be forewarned, there are some light spoilers, and do bear in mind that the game is unfinished. As you’ll probably be able to tell when certain sounds aren’t working, bodies fly through the air, and placeholder voices are used.

Sony To Introduce New Policy On Game Content

Sony is going through a policy change on November 18 in terms of their game content on the Playstation Network. From that day onwards, any content that is purchased on November 18 or beyond, it can only be played on two activated Playstation 3 consoles rather than the current policy of five. The same policy will apply to the Playstation Portable. It is only time affected, so content purchased before Nov. 18 is still allowed to be played on five PS3s and five PSPs.

There is a way to deactivate the system, but it is only on the console. So, if one of your consoles has died, Sony will be providing a deactivation solution over the PC. It will be “a new PlayStation Network account management website where users will be able to deactivate particular devices attached to their PlayStation Network account”, according to the Playstation Blog.

It has received a mixed reaction from the gaming community to say the least. I do not have a reaction on either side of the fence since I only own one PS3 and one PSP. It will also affect the Playstation Vita when it is released next year (or this year in Asia).
