One thing is certain about THQ and Volition’s Saints Row: The Third.  It is as over-the-top in its marketing as I’ve seen any game be in quite some time.  And it is glorious.  Check out the video on the Initiation Station download that allows you to create some off the wall characters.  THQ is definitely having fun with this title and apparently they’re having fun with what people have created so far.

“The characters we’ve seen are mostly ridiculous, often hilarious, and always over-the-top. And now there are a million of them,” said Kevin Kraff, Vice President, Global Brand, THQ. “With the crazed creativity we’ve seen in only one week, we can’t wait to see what’s to come. One million is just the beginning.”

Over a million people have played the Initiation Station so far.  The most popular nontraditional skin colors are green, red, and silver metallic.   I guess that’s no surprise considering the audience Saints Row has.  There are 24 characters tagged as “God,” representing a variety of religious backgrounds.

If you show me yours, I’ll show you mine. I think I’m going to enjoy this game. What say you?
