Great preview, jealous that you got to play this before me lol. Can’t wait to play it in July.

If you have a smart phone you can go "orb hunting" for a early demo code. goto Amazon.com. Goto the Crackdown 2 page and watch the top video. it has a tag at the end to start the hunting.

Nice preview. I really enjoyed reading it. Makes me excited for the game to come out. I had so much fun with Crackdown and I can't wait to play Crackdown 2.

Kingdom Come5819d ago

Game looks fantastic, and the Multiplayer looks hectic, gonna be good...

I think Microsoft should pack in a Gears 3 beta with Crackdown 2. I'm not sure it can sell on it's own.

SOAD5819d ago

I think you're right. Crackdown 1 I heard was a really fun game and I doubt it would have sold as well as it did if it didn't come with Halo 3 beta codes.

Another great game that wouldn't have sold well was Infamous. Infamous managed to sell about as well as Crackdown did because it came with an Uncharted 2 beta code.

I think Sony and Microsoft should bundle in beta codes for their more popular games into their less popular games. It has nothing to do with the quality of the game, just the fact that some games tend to be more popular than others.

Just goes to show that today's gamers are obsessed with shooters.

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

Pixels in the Blood: The Journey of Rob Hewson

The name "Hewson" carries a special weight for anyone who grew up during the golden age of British computing. As the son of Andrew Hewson—the man behind legendary publisher Hewson Consultants—Rob Hewson didn't just grow up playing video games; he learned to spell his name from their title screens. However, Rob didn't just rest on his family's 8-bit laurels. From leading major LEGO franchises at TT Games to tackling the high-stakes world of technical porting at Huey Games, Rob has carved out a unique path in an ever-evolving industry. In this candid interview Rob to discussed the burden and beauty of a family legacy, the technical "scar tissue" left by the ambitious Hydrophobia, and why porting a masterpiece like Inscryption to consoles is far more than a simple copy-paste job.
