Prepare to get insane as Saints Row: The Third hits shelves today! Rejoin the Saints as they assert their dominance as a internationally iconic, criminal media empire. Lock horns with the new enemy gangs: The Deckers, The Morningstar, and The Luchadores.

The launch trailer, which you can watch down below, is possibly the most tame of all the trailers put out so far. Perhaps an attempt to lull you into a false sense of normality before you go out and get the game and lose all sense of reality.

Saints Row: The Third is out now for PS3, Xbox 360, and PC. Check out the trailer and let us know what you’re most excited about doing when you get the game!

Square Enix of Japan has set a release date for their first music based Final Fantasy title ever. The title of course is Theatrhythm: Final Fantasy and the release date for this new title is February 16th. For those who don’t know Theatrhythm: Final Fantasy will contain songs from all Final Fantasy titles ranging from I to XIII and is being developed by IndiesZero.

Along with this release date, Theatrhythm: Final Fantasy was also given a few new screenshots which you can see below. They show off a number of the game’s phases as well as a few of the new characters that have been recently announced as unlockable sub-characters. At the moment, no release date has been given for the North American version of Theatrhythm: Final Fantasy but we can now have a sort of ballpark range for that release as well.

Assassin’s Creed: Revelations multiplayer DLC coming December 13

Despite Assassin’s Creed: Revelations being out for around 16 hours at the time of this post, Ubisoft has decided that now is the best time to announce their first piece of DLC for the title. Don’t get too excited however, as the DLC is only for the multiplayer section of the game and not any story advancing or expanding content.

The multiplayer pack is going to cost $3.99 or 320 MSP and be called the “Ancestors Character Pack” which will bring four new characters to your online roster. They are the Privateer, the Corsair, the Brigand, and the Gladiator, all they all will have “unique taunts, weapons, and stylized assassination moves.” This way if you are tired of the available characters a month from now you’ll be able to pick up four new ones at least.

10 year Xbox anniversary celebrated with free Avatar prop

It is hard to believe that roughly ten years ago the original Xbox was released to the gaming crowd everywhere. But indeed it is true and Microsoft has decided to honor this milestone with a free Avatar prop to try and bring everyone some nice festive spirit. The prop is called the “Xbox Anniversary Prop” and is available free to all Xbox Live users until Saturday.

You can find the prop here to add it to your download queue if you don’t feel like turning on your Xbox 360 at this time to pick it up. While a prop is nice, what else would you like to see Microsoft doing for their 10 year anniversary? A sale of some sort perhaps?

Minecraft easter egg planted in Skyrim

While the lawyers of both Bethesda and Zenimax prepare to go to battle once again to see who can squash the other, the developers at Bethesda obviously hold no problem with Mojang Games, especially their owner it would seem. The above picture was taken of an easter egg that was discovered in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and reported to Ology.

In the picture above you see what is called a “Notched Pickaxe” which of course is a reference to Minecraft’s main tool to mine everything. Also, being that Notch is the name used by Minecraft’s creator this is a nice little easter egg and reference to the developer. For those eager to see this item themselves they can find it stuck in a rock at the Throat of the World, Skyrim’s largest mountain.

PlayStation 3 exclusive content for Saints Row 3 is non-existant

Lately it appears that the PlayStation 3 exclusive content that has been promised for major titles just never seems to come to fruition. Which not only makes for false advertising but also false console posturing. First we had Battlefield 3 on the PlayStation 3 which was meant to be bundled with Battlefield 1943 as a console bonus, but this turned out to be a lie.

Now we have THQ. At E3 THQ promised that the PlayStation 3 version of Saints Row: The Third would come with a special game mode only for that console. However it quickly appears that there is absolutely no difference between the two versions of the title. While this is good for 360 owners, anyone who bought the PS3 version should rightly be disappointed. THQ has refused to make any comment when questioned by Joystiq and a number of other complaints, which is not only odd but also cause for more frustration.

Playstation Suite SDK Enters Beta

The Playstation Suite, announced in January at the Sony event in Tokyo, was created to allow developers to port content for Playstation Certified devices, such as Sony’s own Android devices and the Playstation Vita. The software development kit has now entered beta stage. However, it is a closed beta and only for three countries: Japan, the United States of America and the United Kingdom. Due to the nature of the beta, places will be limited.

The SDK will also support the Playstation 3 and possibly non-Sony Android devices. Despite the fact that the software is now in beta, Sony has not revealed any dates or any indication when there will be a full release of the kit. In a way, this is Sony embracing the growing smartphone and tablet markets while also focusing on the dedicated handheld audience. So, if this is the case and it is successful, can this idea show that both markets can co-exist? Do both need to actually try and destroy each other? Only time will tell.

Character Creation In Lord of Apocalypse

In Lord of Apocalypse, instead of taking control of a named, well-established character with a firm back story, the player actually creates their own character. Square Enix has released a trailer on character creation, showcasing what the player can achieve in terms of looks. It features different armour sets that the player can choose, both for females and males. To me, some of these costumes actually look quite decent. I wonder what other armour sets Square Enix will include for the beginning of the game?

Lord of Apocalypse is being released on both the Playstation Vita and the Playstation Portable on December 17 in Japan with a possible release in the West in 2012. It will be released as both a retail copy and as a digital copy.
