As trains, cabs, and ferries get filled to capacity by these rush hour commuters, a change takes place; cleaning crews and tipsy Staten Island girls begin to shuffle in for their evening affairs. Another group also makes its way in; slowly but surely, attracted by the pristine marble decor of the office buildings and the authentic grime of the Brooklyn Banks and Chinatown skate parks, the inline skaters emerge.

Saints Row 2 DLC 3 Announced

THQ has announced DLC 3 for their open world game Saints Row 2 to be released this Tuesday October 6th. Jokingly referencing that even the citizens of stillwater have also been hit by these hard economic times (which is surprising for a city that looks so pristine all the time). This new pack which includes a myriad of new clothing, jewelry, and tattoos will be brought to the public absolutely free.

So for the record, doo-dads in Saints Row 2 for free? Sure. Left 4 Dead Expansion for free? nuh-uh for anyone keeping track of Microsoft's money beats all philosophy.
