Quantcast



It's a damn good time to be a fan of digital distribution. Immediately following the "Summer of Arcade" line-up for Xbox LIVE Arcade, Shank is getting its release on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. August 24 and 25 for PlayStation Network and XBLA, respectively, is when we'll get our hands on this gorgeous beat-'em-up.

Klei Entertainment has also announced Shank's price: $15. Everyone who is legitimately shocked by this, please leave, and don't come back anytime soon. Lastly, that trailer up there? Yeah, it's new. In it, the game's co-op component is shown. Dibs on Falcone!

It's being specifically called a prequel co-op "mission," which saddens me. Still, I'll take what I can get.

I swear Falcone is modeled after Danny Trejo, complete with chest tattoo

I remember when I first played this, at PAX 2009. After I made every Dtoid editor I could find go and look at it, I went to the booth guy (I may have physically grabbed him, it's hazy), and with my eyes streaming from the glory of the demo, I said (or again, probably roared, my mouth frothing) that if they did one thing with this game, it better fucking be to add co-op support.

I guess he listened.

Alright I might have to buy an XBOX 360 slim and fill it with arcade games. With this, limbo, deathspank (I hear its better on 360 but who knows) and the other summer of arcade games its going to be a good rest of year for downloadable games.

Can't wait to start my job so I can get some cash flowing!
