CandiceAngel reviews: I’ll admit it right now, I haven’t played the first Crackdown. In fact, most of my enthusiasm for this title came from hearing my fellow Xbox darlings get psyched about their review code. This was when I leaned myself back in my chair and gave a look over the details and found myself intrigued. What… are we cracking down on again? Drug dealers? Thugs? Underaged children running sweatshops under ground? None of it, actually. The story seemed like something akin to “Demolition Man” where Peacekeepers wanted desperately to keep the City streets safe, although (Without giving too much away.) it turned out the organization built for the safety of the City was actually the one creating the trouble. Go figure. Ain’t that always the way?

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

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.

It's a toss up it seems.
