"Crackdown 2": Rich Options Save Cracked Designs

By Luke Hamilton

'Crackdown 2'

The original Crackdown was released in 2007 and sold more than 1.5 million copies, but its success was debatable. The majority of those copies were sold early with the promise of access to the online-multiplayer beta test of Halo 3, a promotion that left many people calling Crackdown a road apple. But those critics misjudged the game, which was a solid experience with a large open city to explore. The recently released sequel adds four-person cooperative play and a tighter focus on over-the-top chaos, so this rickety sequel still offers plenty of fun.

What's Happenin': July 7 - 20, 2010

By Mike Schulz

Fred Harris Jr. in FencesTheatre

Fences

Playcrafters Barn Theatre

Friday, July 9, through Sunday, July 18

 

So let's say you watched this year's Tony Awards ceremony, saw that the August Wilson drama Fences received awards for Best Revival of a Play, Best Actor in a Play (Denzel Washington), and Best Actress in a Play (Viola Davis), and said to yourselves, "Wow, I'd really like to catch that show someday."

You currently have two options: (1) Book a flight to New York, and cross your fingers that the Broadway production still has a few premium-seat tickets available for $376.50 a pop. Or (2) Drive a few miles and see Fences at the Playcrafters Barn Theatre, with tickets going for $10 each.

I'm presuming you'd like to hear more about the second option?
