Yes, yes, the murder and mayhem of Saints Row IV are fun and all, but aren't they essentially just window dressing for a game of dress-up? Now we can have a head-start on making pretty pretty Presidents, as publisher Deep Silver has released its character creator as the free standalone 'Inauguration Station' on PC and Xbox 360. Sorry, PlayStationeers, you may need to wait a week.

Poor Australians. Not only do they live in a land purpose-built to murder them, they still struggle with video game censorship--even after adding an adults-only rating. Volition's open-world murder simulator Saints Row IV has finally jumped through enough hoops to be approved for an Australian release, but the changes mean they won't be able to play co-op with people in other regions.

Saints Row 4 associate producer Kate Nelson says that THQ's promotion of porn stars in Saints Row 2 and 3 missed the point of the humor, and that some at Volition "didn't appreciate" calling porn star Tera Patrick a "special producer."

Saints Row 4 is getting a limited-run "Game of the Generation" edition, which includes a light-up stand, velvet pouch, and numbered plaque.

Saints Row 4 is getting a season pass, which will include two mission packs (the first being Enter the Dominatrix) and an exclusive weapon.

The Saints Row 4 "Enter the Dominatrix" DLC will be coming 45 days after launch, and feature characters themselves giving wall-breaking commentary.

Look, I know, "spoilers" and all that, but Saints Row IV is a video game about the President of the US fighting aliens inside a computer simulation using superpowers and a gun which blasts dubstep--spoilers aren't that important. So here, a new trailer showing the return of Johnny Gat following his unfortunate demise in Saints Row: The Third.

The Saints Row series continues to get crazy, going from zombies and missions to Mars in The Third to a Saints president of the United States and and an alien invasion in Saints Row 4. So how do you top that? The game's design director says you don't.

Given that Saints Row IV stars the President of the United States, a trailer celebrating Independence Day was inevitable. But oh, as it's also about an alien invasion, it's also riffing on that other Independence Day, with a stirring speech so powerful even I, a Queen-fearing lobsterback, shed a tear of pride for our little country all growed up.
