We all remember Crackdown, the game that everyone thought would be some crappy throw-away title that you had to buy to get the Halo 3 beta, but turned out to be one of the best games of the year. Well key members of the original Crackdown team have recently left Realtime Worlds and started their own development company, Ruffian Games. This news created a large amount of speculation that the studio off-shoot was created specifically to work on Crackdown 2, which of course would be awesome. Realtime Worlds will not be working on the next Crackdown, since right now they're working on their cops-and-robbers MMO, A.P.B.  This is all just speculation at this point, but we can only hope that it's true. While I am incredibly excited about A.P.B., I'd be even more excited to get my hands on a Crackdown sequel. Is that greedy?
