As I hastily reported last month, Saints Row: The Third suddenly becameone of my most anticipated games of 2011seemingly by no longer giving a shit. There%26rsquo;sno more punches being pulled, very little restraint, and quite frankly it looks like its embracing everything a true "sandbox" game should be -logistics and realism be damned!

So now that it%26rsquo;s balls-out, wonderfully juvenile approach has my full attention, I%26rsquo;m totally bummed to admit I%26rsquo;m not up on just about anything that went down inSaints Row 2. Luckily, lead writer Steve Jaros is walking your through the recent"Power" announcement trailer, and his commentary will shed some insight on recent events and bring Steelport newbs up to speed.
