Everyone loves free games right? Of course, and right now there are 2 that are available for free. The games are called Crackdown 1 as well as its sequel. With the 3rd game available now, Microsoft decided to give away the previous entries in the series for free. They are both Xbox 360 games and are backwards compatible with the Xbox One. They are action shooting games where you play as a superpowered cop taking down street gangs. 

I have played both of them and they are a lot of fun. The story isn't the greatest, but the game is a lot of fun. You get to eventually be able to run faster than the cars drive, and jump like 30 feet in the air as well as throw around cars and trucks. You also get an arsenal of weapons to play with.

The second game improves upon the first, as any good sequel should. More weapon types, as well as vehicles and more interesting enemies. The second game changes the game objectives from wiping out gang leaders to climb the ladder to take out the head of the gang itself, and instead has you fighting against people changed and deformed by a virus into dangerous creatures. Definetely exciting games and they are a lot of fun to mess around with and cause chaos.
