In this thread, I've learned that having internet access is kind of like having household electricity and that cloud computing is kind of like a cure for cancer.
We've come a long way.
On topic, Crackdown 3 multiplayer looks interesting. Not my cup of Wendigo's Summer Blend but the destructibility is intriguing. Still, it's a long jump from that to realistic destruction in realistic environments. 99% of the games I play, I don't want them to look like what I see in Crackdown 3. There is still a lot to prove with the technology before we can be sure that it's "the future". I mean, I'm still waiting for our gaming future with Kinect to kick in.
Also, keep that crub in online multi-player modes. The internet in much of the world is not reliable enough for single-player modes to depend on it.
