Remember that video Anthony Burch made a while back? Sure you do. And if not, go watch it now as a frame of reference.

Game Informer has the exclusive, non-embeddable debut trailer for Saints Row: The Third up on their website, containing new in-game footage. It's a pretty great cinematic approach to the videogame trailer format which you'd be sorry to miss out on, so you should check it out and share your thoughts here!

Haha. SOLD!

Who am I kidding, this game has been 'sold' since I finished SR2. Bring on the Dildo Sword and Fart In A Jar!

And this is why I love the Saints Row series. They don't take it seriously -- at all.

Idiots at Kotaku are actually bashing this trailer. Screw them and their crappy site design, this is why I love DToid, gamers appreciate greatness.

I hope Volition do the Saints Row series justice. I want to see a return of the Septic Avenger -- round 2!
