Crackdown (series)
The first "Crackdown" game was released on February 20, 2007 for the Xbox 360 console. Originally developed for the Xbox console in 2002, Microsoft suggested in 2004 that Realtime Worlds release the game for their upcoming new console. A demo was showcased in the 2006 E3 Convention. Due to the waving interest in player testers during the game's late development, Microsoft decided to release it with access codes to the "Halo 3" multiplayer beta to help its sales during release.
