I treated myself to a couple of new Xbox 360 games back in March–Crackdown and Splinter Cell: Double Agent. I played Crackdown for about three hours that first night, addicted to the rich environment of the game. You can pick up and move quite a lot of the in-game objects like propane cylinders, cars, dead bodies, live bodies and more.

Now that I’ve had some time to excel in the game’s three island neighborhoods, my character has some really ridiculous abilities like lifting semi-trucks over my head and throwing them 100 feet or so.

What a way to end the day…
