‘Crackdown’
Good guys have never been this bad.
In “Crackdown,” you play a genetically enhanced super agent, designed to clean up the mean streets of Pacific City. Exploiting the genetic research of one of the game’s main bosses, The Agency has created an invincible, evolving tool of justice.
The city is divided into four islands, each held by a different gang. It is your responsibility to cut off these gangs from weapons, intel and supplies and eventually take out the gang’s boss.
“Crackdown” is the definition of sandbox gameplay: You can go wherever, do whatever you want, whenever you wantto do it. The missions can get tough, so you may want to invite a friend as backup over Xbox LIVE. Co-op lets other players hop in and assist in taking down more heavily guarded baddies.
For anyone who feels bad about all the digital lives they’ve taken, this game is a must.

‘Kim Possible: Global Gemini’
It’s time to take the drama to the DS.
In step with the long-awaited season four premiere of the hit Disney toon, “Kim Possible: Global Gemini” lets fans of the series take on saving the world like only a cheerleader can.
You play as Kim, Ron and his pet naked mole rat, Rufus. They use their kung fu skills and gadgets to take on Gemini and his Worldwide Evil Empire.
The game’s pretty bland overall. The environments, combat system and platforming gameplay have been done before.
The title doesn’t tie in with the show, features no voice acting and generally doesn’t reward fans of the series in any way.
You may want to let Team Go handle this one, Kim.
