'Crackdown 2' Release Date Confirmed

The original "Crackdown" didn't make you think too hard, and that was fine so long as there were plenty of tractor trailers to hurl across the map. The sequel is sticking with that formula, while layering in some improved multiplayer features. Microsoft has announced that "Crackdown 2" is coming to stores in the US on July 6th, with other territories coming over the following few days.

The July 6th release date is a pleasant surprise, especially when "Crackdown 2" could have, conceivably, been planned as a holiday release. It's also awesome that it's coming out in July, a historically slow month for video game releases. Looks like you won't have to spend all summer waiting for random XBLA releases!
