Kane and Lynch "review stars" removed from official website
MaxVest \| 10:30 AM on 12.04.2007	23 comments

Go check out the Kane and Lynch Official Site [link].

Notice anything missing?

My God, it's... not full of stars.

Confrused? Check out the original story about how the official Kane and Lynch website misled customers into thinking the game earned "5-star" reviews from Game Informer and Gamespy.

WOW. This confirms they are perpetuating BULLSHIT advertising techniques on purpose. I will never buy an Eidos product ever again, which is fine with me, 'cause I hate the Hitman games and clearly this game isn't worth my time or money.

Sorry Necros, I'd use italics but I don't know BBC code.

Rockvillian

The site displays its website awards (lying about those too probably) on the splash page?

So lame it hurts...

Barcode

This reminds me of little kids trying to lie to get what they want.

Scape

I'm honestly done with Eidos.

BS3 Owner

O.o

Just WOW! Such Ignorance... Saddens Me!

itemforty

I would like to say, for the record, that D had this right all along.

VWGTI

Maybe this will encourage them to finally update the Hitman game engine. =)

BigPopaGamer

Like who cares about Eidos anyways?

What B-Radicate said.

It's pretty sad that you can't do what usual game makers of shitty games usually do cut and paste a quote here and a quote there, to make the review sound better.NOOO they just said the hell with that we're just going to flat out lie.

king3vbo

So much bullshit

BenHaskett

I can't think of a single eidos property that I like. Tomb Raider has never been my thing, I hate the Hitman games, and this just sounds plain awful. And don't even get me started on Omikron; what a waste of good Bowie.

You forgot this Golden Nugget they did....

CAN'T FORGET FIGHTING FORCE AND FIGHTING FORCE 2!

AWW YEAH!

EternalDeathSlayer

I saw this earlier, you know what the big deal is? Eidos dont have much else besides this and hitman
they need a big hit.

weedgan

I love this game, fuck you guys.

BahamutZero

shit I didn't even notice this had been on the front page already... oh well.

SourGr8pes

"A Mercenary, A Psychopath, and a Bundle of cash... What Could go wrong?"

Nice they could snip that out and use it to their advantage (although the movie industry has been doing this for ages).
I bet the next sentence was:

[/i]...Apparently a whole lot[/i]

Samit Sarkar

@SourGr8pes: Yep, I wouldn�t be surprised at all if that�s how the review read.

This entire thing, from Eidos� influence in getting Gerstmann fired, to Kane and Lynch being a shitty game, to this five-star crap, is ridiculous. Eidos, as a studio/publisher, should just fold and go out of business.
