PAX East 10: Crackdown 2, mutants, and flying squirrels photo

Whoever was responsible for capturing the above image from Crackdown 2 deserves the rest of the day off. It really captures the joy of being a badass super agent who can miraculously glide through the air like few pictures before it.

I'm still not one-hundred percent sold on the concept of mutants in Pacific City, but I suppose I'd rather Ruffian Games change the formula up a bit than retell the same story. Was there even a story in Crackdown? By the end of it, I was half expecting Dr. Wily to pop out.

Oh, and there's also footage of the new Rocket Tag multiplayer mode. As expected, it is absolute mayhem. I was so in love with the aforementioned image, I had no choice but to put the video after the break. Sorry!

Crackdown story = There are gangs. Gangs are bad. Murder death kill.

Loved Crackdown. This looks bigger, better, and more badass (pardon the cliche).

Day one.

I rushed through Crackdown in like a day and a half, because there were so many other games I was eager to get to. Maybe I'll be able to take a bit more time with this one, looks good.

The original Crackdown is an awesome game, and anyone who hasn't tried it out should do so.

That picture just reminds me how beautiful Just Cause 2 is by comparison. Love me some crackdown, but I wish they had a better engine...
