    Is a half hour of Crackdown 2's mania enough to sell you on a purchase? Ruffian Games and Microsoft seem to think so, Agent. As promised, a 1GB timed demo for the open-world action title has appeared on Xbox Live Marketplace, allowing you to kill and folic with accelerated leveling, co-op functionality, and the chance to unlock achievements earned when the full game is popped into your system tray.

    Microsoft has also launched a Facebook app with strong ties to said demo. Chuck's Ducks 2 (available here) is a "carnival-inspired game" that will feed you an allotment of duck-shaped sticky bombs for use in Crackdown 2's multiplayer component. Playing Chuck's Ducks 2 will also unlock a harder difficulty level in the Crackdown 2 demo which is probably neat if you're into that whole punching-yourself-in-the-leg thing.

    == TEASER ==While it's admittedly hard to see beyond the Crackdown 2 demo, more is set to hit Xbox Live Marketplace this week. Major Nelson provided the low-down again, bringing to light an "inventory blowout" deal which ends this Tuesday:

    Words cannot describe how eagerly I'm anticipating Summer of Arcade. Lara Croft? Castlevania? Monday Night Combat? Yes please!

    The demo is a whole lot like Crackdown 1, but it feels a lot more improved with more impressive vareity. 
     
    That's enough for me. I loved Crackdown, so just give me more and make it a tad bit better, and yeah, I'm sold!

    I picked up Castlevania and Banjo Tooie along with Trials HD last week.  Haven't played SOTN yet but will get to it eventually.

    Got myself Splosion Man on the deal of the week and Uno and Crystal defenders last week on the inventory blowout. Wish they would have changed the inventory blowout this week though. Duke Nukem looks cool and so does Risk, so I may have to get those too

    Picked up Banjo Tooie and Castle Crashers (yup held out that long). Kinda wondering if I should get Banjo Kazooie and finish that one first. Is any of the Stop N' Swop stuff worth it?

    Earning achievements in the demo and then unlocking them with the full game?  I'm sold! 
     
    I hope this becomes a new trend for games.  ME2 already has a demo which saves your progress allowing you to skip the whole first level when you buy the full game.

    It's kinda weird how crackdown-y the demo feels, in terms of gameplay. it's not necessarily bad, it feels like...home.

    Hmm, I really didn't like this demo. It was too hectic, everywhere you went enemies were crawling. And I died defending a beacon, when I leveled up my shooting-skill and my character freezes in the levelup-animation while everyone is shooting at me... 
     
    Hope this is not indicative of the full game. I remember hating the original demo as well, but ended up loving the full game.

    Some of those "Blow-out" prices are tempting, but considering I just bought Pure for $7 through Gamefly, it's kinda hard to spend $10 on Castle Crashers. Five bucks and I be sold. Vandal Hearts looks like a good deal, if I only had the time...

     How do you turn off the lockon targeting? Whenever I hold left trigger, the game just locks onto targets for me, when I really just want to shoot for myself.

    Also, the game's graphics are really... terrible. It's like an Xbox1 game.

    I think that the general consensus for Crackdown 2 will be bad, i have yet to play the demo, and i will, but from what i've seen...i think it could be terrible, or at least, depressing and-or disappointing, i love the first one too.
