The Trouble With Clones DLC!

Johnny Gat is Back.

Science just got weird, thanks to Third Street Saints super fan and cloning enthusiast Jimmy Torbitson. Refusing to believe that his hero Johnny Gat died fighting the Syndicate, Torbitson meticulously acquired Gat’s DNA in order to clone the Saints chief lieutenant and bring him back to life. But this is Saints Row, and as always, something goes horribly, horribly wrong. It doesn’t help that Torbitson got a C in high school chemistry...

Now Gat’s twisted clone is on the loose, terrorizing Steelport and its well-heeled citizenry. But just as science unleashed an abomination upon Steelport, it will also be its savior. The new formula of the Saints Flow energy drink, part ginseng root, part caffeine, and part secret sauce now endows you with super powers that just happen to be super enough to take down a giant evil clone. Saints Flow remains illegal in most countries, and prohibited in California.

So drink up, bear down, and strap it on

The Trouble With Clones pack will be available starting Tuesday, March 20th (later in the week for specific region/platform combinations) on XBL, PSN, Steam, and OnLive for $6.99 (560 MS Points). This pack is included for free to all Season Pass holders.

Screw Team Jacob too.

The Super Jump

The fine folks over at Achievement Hunter never cease to make us laugh. Geoff and Michael are part of a large group of Saints Row fans that like to mess around in the open world, and play with the large basket of toys we provide, creating something we never intended. They dive deep into the realm of cheats, combinations of weapons, and of course, co-op.

Their first video below focuses on what they call the "Super Jump". Using a combination of cheats and explosives, their goal was to send a car at least 1,000 feet through the air. Watch the video below and see how it turned out.

After posting the video, Geoff and Michael came up with a new strategy, one which could easily top their original high water mark, and send them into the stratosphere. They found that if one co-op partner sat in the car, and tossed remote charges out the back, a whole new world of super jumping would open up. Take a look at part 2 below and enjoy.

Feel free to try out these techniques yourself and achieve your own top score!

Z-Style DLC Pack

While the main line is generally "Who doesn't wanna be Johnny Gat?", there are more than a few citizens of Steelport that also want to be Zimos. With our new "Z-Style DLC Pack", you can dress up in a specially tailored version of Zimos' suit, and carry around a brand new signature weapon, the Bling Shotgun. Take a look at the video below and see if you've got enough style to rock these new threads. 

Genkibowl VII DLC Pack

Some sports are played with balls. Genkibowl is played with your very life. Strap it on.

Look out! Shark Attack!

The streets of Steelport are relatively safe. With a few random street gangs, groups of furries, and the occasional petty crime, the citizens of Steelport feel pretty safe. It's too bad they had no idea about the ravenous sharks living directly under their feet.

Luckily, in our newest Shark Attack DLC, the Shark-O-Matic shoots out a steady stream of slimy fish guts, attracting whatever may lurk underneath. And if that isn't enough, the Shark Bite Hat allows you to experience the feeling of being caught in the jaws of a great white.
