Show of the Week: Agents of Mayhem and the 5 Least Secret Secret Agents in Games

Agents of Mayhem is the new game from Saints Row developer Volition, starring a cast of agents causing a great deal of mayhem. You might think generating noisy chaos would be detrimental to a career as a secret agent, but apparently they’re all doing it in videogames, as we discover later in the show.

For example, secret agent Polyblank from 60s-spy-themed comedy game Jazzpunk leaves a trail of chaos and destruction everywhere he goes.

Somehow his supposedly covert missions involve stealing artificial kidneys from cowboys, murdering a pig with a ukelele and photocopying his rear end.

Or the G-Men, who appear in Psychonauts level The Milkman Conspiracy, set in the mind of a paranoid security guard, and populated almost entirely by these sinister government spies.

Of course, they’d like you to believe that it’s actually populated by road crew workers, hedge trimmers and grieving widows, but they’re not what you’d call skilled in the art of disguise, as their loud claims to not be spies attest.

Agents of Mayhem comes out on Xbox One, PS4 and PC on release date 15 August in North American and 18 August in Europe.
