Crackdown soundtrack

I must agree with the audio guy you interviewed. I love the crackdown soundtrack. I found myself getting angry with reviewers who trashed the soudntrack. I'm tired of the "popular" music in all the other sand box games. I was completely surprised to hear some TobyMac songs on the soundtrack. I thought all of the music would have been made by the Real World people but TobyMac was a neat surprise. If a soundtrack was released I'd pick it up in a minute. Good music that I can play really loud in the car and not worry about offending anyone......That's what's up!

Great show Major. Last week you said you may post the RSS feeds you subscribe to, just wondering if you did and I missed it? Also how about a desktop widget for us Mac OS users for your RSS feeds from this blog, like Kotaku's or Engadget's.

Oddly, I never actually thought when was a good time to listen to your show. I used to listen on the way home every friday, since the train ride is about an hour and a half, so it's perfectly timed, but I think I might have to try listening whilst I play something. I did miss last weeks edition so I'll try it later on I think.

The mic issues with the Alien Hominid interview were a little annoying, but that aside maybe it'd be a nice idea to do a short interview with Tom Fulp and Dan Paladin, maybe to help inspire the future indie/XNA developers. Also Dan Paladin has a CD out called 'Watermelons' which I adore, so I figured any excuse to plug it.

Good Show. Glad you took my advice on using the CrackDown music for your show ( atleast for the finale) ;) Oh! You forgot to ask K Note how they produced the sounds/music for the XXX clubs in the game :o

Speaking of Crackdown 2.

The one thing that would be a total BLAST would be 16 player MP.

But NOT only your standard PM game types.

How about one called "Sandbox". 16, maybe up to 40 or 50 players in a game, no rules, no teams, no time limit, no score, you just jump in and do what you want. Fights will break out, races will break out, or you can just hang out and find fun things to do with other players.

I could stay there all day! LOL

Would need some kinda Halo type Prox. Voice. Maybe only hear other players up to a block away.

Oh and don't forget to leave in the gangs and other NPC's for added fun. ;)

That game would RULE above anything else on XBL.

The ONLY bad part about Crackdown's audio is the guys that keep saying...over and OVER "time to die". UHG!

Please fix that on Crackdown 2!

Other than that the sound is AWESOME! I love it at night the most...sounds exactly like a city at night really sounds!! Great job! :)

Hey Major,

First, while the wireless receiver seeems really good, I am disappointed w/ the lack of support for Half-Life 2. Is this an issue w/ valve, the drivers or both? Does it have anything to do w/ the drivers being DX9 and DX10 (assuming as t is advertised w/ vista and live anywhere software)?

Second, the key to juggling is the homing rockets. How you get the object in the air plays a big part as one way works better than another. Also, co-op makes a big difference to tag team challenges as I've found some cool and some cheap workarounds for some of the goals.
