thebitterguySo at FCBD my FLCS had a sale on some of their used console games. I picked up Crackdown, because it said I could participate in a Halo 3 Beta (rimshot).
It took a bit to get into, but it's gotten to be quite fun. I wave off any concerns of racism by noting that most* criminal organizations are racially homogeneous anyways.
So, yeah, I really suck at driving in the game. Really. Everytime I take a car out, I apply more carnage than the warring gangs do. I am good at shooting people, though, and I'm getting good at bombing people too.
But the jumping remains the most fun. There's nothing like leaping from ledge to ledge to the top of a large building and hopping from rooftop to rooftop. It's so much fun it's criminal.
So far, I've cleared out Los Muertos (after bumping into a few of the seven bosses entirely by accident), and am working my way through the Volk. I kind of accidentally found the hideout of the Volk's big boss, but he still had his full complement of bodyguards hanging aboot.
I like it so far. I'm still working to get a handle on the controls (I hate going to kick someone and instead jumping over their head).
I'm also fond of one of the Xbox Arcade games about a little fish who gets bigger by eating smaller fishes. I haven't bought the full version yet, but that's only a matter of time. I once thought "I liked this better the first time I played it. When it was called Shark! Shark! ", but I like this more than Shark! Shark!
