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.

Just as an aside: this "blowout" sale is fantastic. It also makes me remember how aggressively priced XBLM titles used to be.
