Thanks for writing this up - was a fun and informative read!

[My Summer Decided]

I'm aware a substantial amount of time has passed since this post, but holy smokes, I have many hours into the Crackdown 1 and 2 games!  Did you manage to play through one or both of them last year?
 
Coincidentally, I played through Crackdown 3 for the first time last summer - which was overall in the same great spirit as its two predecessors!
