First off, I'm kind of surprised that there is still content coming out for Agents of Mayhem. Secondly, the content that is coming out is none other than Kinzie from the Saints Row franchise appearing here at Safeword. Yes, despite my hopes that Agents of Mayhem would strive to distance itself from its glorious past, this happens. C'est la vie.

At least Kinzie was a good, fun character and one that I was frankly surprised wasn't included in the original roster.

Over the years, Volition created some pretty great games that includes the recently released Agents of Mayhem game plus the Saints Row, Descent Freespace, and Summoner franchises. Today, the studio laid off over 30 of its roughly 200 employees. These layoffs include General Manager Dan Cermak and video editor Josh "Chip Cheezum" Stinson. Stinson was perhaps best known for being the main face on most of Volition's livestreams. This all came about a month after the release of Agents o...

Final thoughts and final score
It has been a few days now since I put up the initial "review in progress" for Agents of Mayhem. Chances are, you can just read that below these words as I do not plan to edit or alter that content in any way. Has my opinion on the game changed in that time? Slightly. Did the full public release of the game do anything to change some of the egregious shortcomings I encountered? This question is the one that I'm not sure I have a definitive answer to. M...

As part of the review process for Agents of Mayhem, I was granted permission to stream up to the first five hours of the game. There was no limit on the content that I could show, only the amount of time in which I was allowed to show it. If you happened to miss my stream last night (and I know many of you did), you can watch the full, uncut version below. Feel free to watch it all or skip around a bit. It should give you a general idea of how the game looks, how it plays, what the ea...

It's Monday, which means it's time for another Agents of Mayhem media drop. Today's release is a trailer that shows how you swap between the various Agents while you're playing.

Here we have Lead Designer Ryan McCabe explaining the character swap mechanic in the game.

It's Monday, which means that there is another Agents of Mayhem promo video. Let's just hope that it's not as bad as their last attempt.

Today's video is entitled "Carnage a Trois" and it features a trio of characters: Braddock, Yeti, and Daisy.

In what can be seen not only as a bizarre move but also a sufficiently creepy one, Deep Silver decided to promote Agents of Mayhem with a "leaked Hollywood sex tape" through YouPorn. It's rather tame by porn standards and it features some interactions between a few in-game characters.

There was even a fake statement released today about the "leaked" tape.
