Saints Row: The Third is getting super powers.

I'll just leave that there for a moment so you can take it in. Really, I could stop this article here and not even expand on it. With Saints Row you almost don't even have to. Simply think of the craziest thing your mind can conjure and you've probably hit the nail on the head.

Called "Enter the Dominatrix," this upcoming expansion for Saints Row: The Third will be hitting in the fall, and  pics up where the end of The Third left off and now, according to the press release, "alien warlord Zinyak has eyed Earth and its precious natural resources and females with a watchful eye. As he prepares an armada for invasion, he has only one worry: the Third Street Saints."

This alien warlord then kidnaps the leader of The Saints and sends him (or her) to bondage in a world of virtual reality that looks just like Steelport. This is where the super powers come in, and I'm getting a nice NEO / Matrix vibe from the whole thing.

THQ has also stated that this expansion will be a $30 standalone, boxed, expansion that can be played even if you don't own the original game. Good news for those of us who really couldn't get into the side missions and found there just wasn't much to do in Steelport after finishing the main story.

    Unfortunately, the entire game was side missions.

    Yeah, I didn't like that about Saints 3 either. "You want to take over Steelport? Do these side missions from 2, but now they're part of the main story."

    I can't wait for this DLC. I had fun with the super powers in the Trouble with Clones. Can't imagine getting them for the whole city.

    Good, because I traded it in, due to the boredom that ensued after the main story. :B

    I miss when cheat codes were free. If San Andreas came out today things like super speed and flying cars would be DLC.

    The side missions being in the main story never bothered me seeing as how I'm a completionist with these kinda games. More content is always welcome. :P

    This doesn't change the fact that Steelport is still a boring ass generic setting.
