Microsoft may be on to something with their Game Pass service, an all you can play buffet service of games that are constantly being added and rotated out. It’s a cheap as chips subscription, it’s home to smaller games and it has day one access to first-party Xbox One games to boot. That’s not too shabby, and like most services of its ilk, it lives and dies on its content. Said content is getting a few heavy-hitters soon, as Microsoft announced sixteen new entries to the Game Pass library.

Agents of Mayhem developers Volition have reportedly suffered some layoffs in the wake of poor sales and disappointing reception to their latest IP.

I wanted Volition to deliver something special on the heels of Saints Row 4 and Gat out of Hell, and while Agents of Mayhem is a slightly above-average open-world third person shooter, it’s far from the hero we deserve or need.

Saint's Row spinoff Agents of Mayhem looked a bit like a supercharged Crackdown, at a time when the next actual Crackdown looks a bit sterile. Is it any good though? Reviews seem a little mixed.

Thought that July was a dry month for gaming? Well hold onto your butt then, because August is going to be a killer. From the simple joy of Jousting in Nidhogg 2 through to the mind-bending paranoia of Hellblade, here's what you can expect to play next month.

FREE SEX! Now that I have your attention, back to the topc at hand. Sex. Giggity. Volition Entertainment has a new game out soon, that goes by the handle of Agents of Mayhem. Maybe you’ve heard of it. Maybe you haven’t, but it’s not as if the developer hasn’t been spending some coin on marketing their upcoming sandbox which apparently looks like a better version of Crackdown. Standard marketing can only go so far of course, with the very crowded halls of YouTube only providing so many eyeballs at any given time on a video. What’s a developer to do? Head for greener pastures of course.

There’s nothing I’m seeing in Agents of Mayhem that makes it look like a revolution in sandbox action, and that’s OK. Sometimes you don’t need a game which pushes boundaries. Sometimes you just need something which is solid, capable and fun for an afternoon. If Agents of Mayhem can accomplish that, I’ll honestly be happy. Especially with its cast of characters.

Subtlety was a design feature that was dragged behind a garish purple car with chrome wheels, as Saints Row preferred overt over covert on any day ending with a Y. It’s a legacy that lives on in Agents of Mayhem, a quasi-sequel and reboot of the franchise born out of the events of Saints Row: Gat Out Of Hell as players get to cause untold chaos within a new sandbox. The key hook here, being that players will access to a squad of agents to help them pull off all manner of shenanigans. So which characters will be the best?
