Crackdown 2 Review
You know the world of gaming is moving into a new realm of achievement when you start liking games you don’t like. Make sense?
Crackdown 2 is basically a shooter, but one with very open gameplay. You jump in as an Agent, trying to reclaim Pacific City from the effects of a virus that has turned much of the population into “Freaks,” which is code for weird zombies. Unable to come out in the sunlight, night is a bad time to be around the city, but this gives the Agency an option for a supreme Freak-battling weapon.
The agency has a system in place for harnessing the sun’s power, and pinpointing to the Freak lairs, and even the means to detonate a sort of Super Solar pulse, thus eliminating the Freaks once and for all. Unfortunately, there is a kind of rebellion at play in Pacific City. Known as Cell, this group of civilians is out to stop The Agency, and hinders their work at every turn. Your job is to reclaim whatever Cell has taken over, get the city back under Agency control, and wipe out Freaks.
Well, your job is really just to shoot at stuff. Sound fun?

Ready 2 Rumble Revolution Wii Boxing Preview
I have to confess to actually being a pretty big fan of those super simple games that come with the Wii. The boxing is not bad, and I've looked for a "bigger" version. For me, the full boxing games thus far are just a bit too serious. I don't actually have a lot of interest ...
