Crackdown: Preparing for the real seller photo

It seems someone at a retail outlet snapped a picture of what will be the real seller of Crackdown: the Halo 3 beta. Good to know they got their priorities straight on this one. Makes you wonder if they'll sell the game in a Master Chief display.

I would be so irate if I were one of the developers who worked on Crackdown.

If I were one of the developers of Crackdown, I would be a total badass. And I wouldn't really care, because most people who write that shit haven't played the fucking game, so what the fuck do they know, right? I might also be Scottish.

I used to make jokes about that shit, but seriously -- Crackdown is so fucking good that Halo 3 is somehow less of a priority to me than it used to be, which is to say that it has negative priority, which is to say that I will eat babies if confronted with Halo 3, just so the cops will take me away and I won't have to fucking play it.

Anyway, Crackdown is rad.

Wow. This garbage is plastered by every fucktard on every game related msg board every 37 seconds for a month, now we get it in nice picture form on my favorite sites. It's a bummer that natural selection works so slow.

Haha the commercial for that game is so fucking rediculous. The only way it could have been better was if that guy went on an all out insane tirade.

"It was his birthday! I mean, his mom's birthday, esse! Ya man, and then he picked up his mom's body and threw it fifty feet in the air, then caught her. Then he totally banged the shit out of her!

...Go buy Crackdown!"

Honestly, this can only mean a win for Crackdown's developers. Considering how hard it's getting for a new IP to get off the ground, packing it with the Halo 3 demo means lots of customers who might never look twice at the game are going to check this out. Combined with the critical love it's been receiving already, they've got a new franchise that will probably last a while. MS was really smart packing Halo 3 with a great but unknown title as opposed to a shit game they just wanted to shovel out the door.

first off, crackdown wins.
second, friends purchased it at a local meijers because walmart were being dumb have no clue wtf crackdown was.
lastly, it is nice to be able to collect and kill without having to worry about the demo timeout.

That's hiiiilarious! I love Crackdown, and I could still see myself writing that on pre-orders. As much as you love the game, you can't deny the reality of the situation. Have a laugh!

Judging from the demo, I'd say Crackdown easily holds its own. Access to the Halo 3 Beta is just the icing on the cake.
