July is usually the slowest month of the year for gaming releases. However, that's when Crackdown 2 will arrive exclusively on the Xbox 360.

Microsoft and Ruffian Games revealed that the sandbox action game will hit North America on July 6th. Asia, Australia and New Zealand will get it on the 8th. The European release date will follow on the 9th.

Between now and the game's release, Ruffian will be releasing a three-part video documentary. We should have the first part up on the site in a bit.
