Halo fans scoop up ‘Crackdown’

By Cory Bergman 

Microsoft’s new video game Crackdown shipped today, and it’s sold out virtually everywhere (well, at least in Seattle). Is it that great of a game? Well, not really. But it contains a key to unlock an Xbox Live beta test of Halo 3, which is due to come out later this year. A brilliant marketing move. I was just talking with a couple of my Xbox friends who saw an advance screening of Halo 3, and they assure me it’s sick (that’s awesome, for you out-of-the-demo folks). And they also say that Hellgate London, an upcoming game for the 360, is unbelievable.

Screen grab from Hellgate London. Hmmmm.
