Let's be honest. Who really cares about "collateral damage"? Certainly not the explosively-inclined cops of the new Crackdown game revealed today at E3. Yes, everyone's favorite police brutality simulator is being rebooted exclusively for Xbox One. Not too many details have emerged, but it is revealed to have some form of co-op. We can also assume everything is going to be on fire or blowing up.
"With only one week to retirement, the last thing that any grizzled veteran needed was a rookie fresh from the academy. This goes doubly when your beat is the crime riddled metropolitan of Pacific City. With three gangs dominating the three different islands, DjinniMan and I (Samoza), were about to embark on a deadly mission. I’m getting too old for this …… type of game.
This week in co-op, I played the Crackdown DLC titled "Keys to the City" with internet personality Keadin. This DLC was by far the strangest, most unique, and most pointless DLC I've ever played - and I loved every second of it. Follow me now through the gates of Paradise City using their own Keys.
Incoming intel Agent...still in search of those illusive agility or secret orbs? Trying to finish off those stunt rings? Just want to blow stuff up with a friend? Then Crackdown co-op night is your answer. This month for the three year anniversary of the game we take to the streets.
Crackdown, the classic 2 player co-op sandbox title, is now available on Microsoft's Games on Demand channel on Xbox Live. The title is available worldwide, except Korea, Germany and Japan. Did you know Crackdown was called Riot Act in Japan?
When the New Xbox Experience was released last year, one of the greatest features of the update was the ability to install games to your Xbox 360 hard drive to help decrease loading times. Sadly, not all games benefited from this.
Crackdown means a number of things to a number of different people. To me, it means super-hero physics in an open gang war. Matrix-style jumping across rooftops can get especially interesting if you add a little co-op to the mix. Hand to hand combat with a physically enhanced "agent" can add a little spice to your life, too.
Honestly we couldn't have timed our Crackdown review any better. Today Microsoft has released a premium NXE theme for Crackdown called "Play More Crackdown."
To do something a little different here at Co-Optimus, we decided to go back and review one of our favorite co-op games. We have two perspectives for you too. Jim is a newcomer to Crackdown, having never played it. Nick on the other hand gives his perspective after two years with the game. Does it stand the test of time? Is it still a game for newcomers? Find out in our review.
If for some reason you still haven't tried out the co-op goodness that is Crackdown, now is your chance to get in on the action for only $10. Amazon.com is having their deal of the day and Crackdown is marked down from it's normal $30 price point.
I was pretty surprised last night when I signed onto Xbox Live and joined a party of folks playing Crackdown. Three separate co-op groups were playing and I wondered if I missed some memo. How did this impromptu session of one of the most fun co-op games start? They said it only took one person playing before the rest wanted to join in, that just shows the longevity and great co-op fun that game has. They wanted more!
