But this news story isn’t to talk about this bat, it’s to say that some gamers won’t even know the comedic and developmental effort that went into bringing The Penetrator to life. According to THQ, developer Volition had to alter the make up and physics of The Penetrator in order to comply with Japanese guidelines, which prohibit any depiction of genital parts in video games. Obviously, if you’ve seen the trailer you would know that there is a lot of exaggeration on display with the weapon, but there is also some painstaking detail being injected into both the look and movement as well....

To help illuminate that point THQ has released some new screenshots and a brief trailer that show the four events that the leader of the Saints will be taking part in. Those four events in question are titled Sexy Kitten Yamgasm, Sad Panda Skyblazing, Apocolypse Genki, and Super Ethical PR Opportunity. If you haven’t already heard: Saints Row: The Third is insane. Among the crazy situations that Volition’s latest places at players’ footsteps are a maze littered with live sharks, the chance to embody the sad panda, and trying to survive a giant ball of yarn....

On hand for the panel were Volition Creative Director Steve Jaros, Troy Baker (male voice #1), Laura Bailey (female voice #1), JB Blanc (Emperor Zinyak), and Yuri Lowenthal (Matt Miller, Professor Genki) to discuss the forthcoming game.

Guardiola slams ‘unacceptable’ Wenger treatment Sane moved to the English club from Schalke, having featured in Joachim Low’s squad at Euro 2016, for a fee understood to be worth in the region of £37 million. The 21-year-old winger initially struggled to adapt to life in Manchester, grasping for form and fitness, before scoring his first goal in City colours during December’s 2-1 comeback win over Arsenal. Manager Pep Guardiola has since acknowledged “something clicked” in that match and Sane netted in his next two appearances versus Tottenham and Crystal Palace....

Since then, EA and Maxis have regained control of their servers and have been talking about making the game offline compatible, as well as allowing user generated content (but not bigger cities).
