Crackdown 2 Including Fan Made Graffiti
Ruffian Games just announced the winners of their graffiti competition, and included in their ranks was this stimulating piece by one Craig Paton. I have no idea if Craig is legitimately interested in supercop-on-cop action, or was just trying to ruffle the feathers of the typical macho Xbox gamer, but I have to say, more power to him. The life of an ultraviolent, superpowered police officer is a lonely road, so it's nice to see a little bit of tenderness.
All of the winners, including the kissing cops, will be included as actual graffiti in the game. In addition the creators will get their names in the credits, as well as free copies of the game. While most of the graffiti will be included in montages alongside other winners, a few will appear on their own around the game's city. I think we'll all be hoping this image is one that gets the marquee treatment. Possibly with spotlights, or a big flashing sign.
Ruffian has taken the reigns to the Crackdown series from Realtime Worlds, and consists of members who have worked on the original game, as well as Fable II and Project Gotham Racing. The game is due for Xbox 360 exclusively later this year, although a firm date hasn't been set. For a full size version of the picture, as well as to see all the other winners, click the link below.

This is simply awesome! I really loved the first Crackdown, and this only serves to get me more excited about the sequel!

I'm impressed that Ruffian Games liked the piece and chose it at a winner
Yay! Hot -supercop-on-supercop-action for the Win!
Wow.
I always loved Crackdown and now I like more the team behind it.
They liked it and will place it in the actual game?
Lol.
They are seriously an open-mind kind of people.
