When you see a post containing the words "Team Fortress 2" and "headgear," you probably don't expect to see Saints Row: The Third sharing in the story. Today, THQ and Valve have announced that Team Fortress 2-inspired lids are coming to the PC version of the game.

Headgear that resemebles each of Team Fortress 2's characters will be added to the Steam version of Saints Row: The Third on Tuesday, January 17. The free update allows players to run through the streets of Steelport (clothing optional) disgused as their favorite character from Valve's free-to-play shooter.

Don't have the Saint's Row: The Third season pass? Well, all you cheapstakes will be able to get a free DLC pack next week, courtesy of "CheapyD," creator of popular video game deals website, CAG.

Self-described as a "c-list internet celebrity," CheapyD was imported into the world of Saints Row after winning a charity auction. In addition to seeing his iconic bald head, you'll also be able to hear over 200 recorded lines once you unlock him in the campaign. He'll be available as a "homie" once you've reached Shaundi's ex-boyfriend's apartment, after the assault on the armory.

After jumping out of (and into, and back out of) a moving plane, it's hard to believe Saints Row: The Third can keep its pace throughout the entire experience. Oh boy, does it. Volition's title, which in some instances can only be described as a fever dream, is over-the-top and fun. Saints Row: The Third isn't afraid to be nonsensical in its quest to be wholly entertaining. Sure, some of the gags fall flat, but it's crazy experience that goes beyond any other game in its genre (not the dildo bat genre, the open world one).

I'll confess. When I found out that I would be reviewing the latest installment in this buck-wild send-up of 'gangsta' games, there was a bit of eye-rolling. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the first two, but they did little to have me wanting more. Saints Row: The Third promises a bigger, crazier experience, but is it better than its predecessors?

THQ promised it would be working on nearly a year's worth of downloadable content for Saints Row: The Third. If you want to get it all at an "anticipated savings of more than 15 percent," you'll want to save up for the Saints Row Season Pass.

Following the trend started by LA Noire, and continued by many games since, purchasing the Season Pass will entitle you to upcoming DLC at a discounted rate. The Season Pass will include the "Nyte Blayde" DLC pack, which adds a vampire-hunting sports car, a motorcycle, and two outfits. In addition, you'll get three mission packs.
