Crackdown Links Lovin'

There's a subtle shift going in with the public perception of Crackdown. The longer the demo has been out and more players have taken a trip through Pacific City, the less focus there seems to be on the much ballyhooed free Halo 3 beta. Gamers dig the demo. Sure there's a silent minority that detests the demo for some very valid reasons (lack of story being a huge complaint) but overall it's safe to say the demo has made its share new devotees.

Fans and news outlets alike are definitely giving the game some proper dues. I recently found some very juicy links on Xboxyde and Team Xbox.

Crackdown Achievements Video
Microsoft released a video montage detailing some of the more esoteric Achievements available in Crackdown. Watching this, quite frankly, gave me the chills and tingles in all my special places. Note the soundtrack, a hypnotic pastiche of brooding breaks, synthy-goodness and secret agent cool. I love the track and hope it will be included in the final game. Well, when the demo included licensed songs from the likes of Hybrid and Curve, my wishful thinking may in fact be reality.

Team Xbox chimed in with their own Crackdown coverage:
