The two Kane & Lynch games were, on paper, exciting propects. The first, Dead Men, was intended to be a pulse-pounding, squad-based heist thriller, similar to films such as Heat, but was a fumbling, awkward game. The 2010 sequel, Dog Da...

Shooters seem simple. You step into the shoes of your typical tough guy space-marine or mercenary and empty clip after clip into the faces of Nazis, or aliens, or alien-Nazis from the vaguely disembodied gun bobbing up and down in front of ...

With just under a week left to go before it vanishes, the Square Enix Humble Bundle 2 has added bonus titles: Startopia, Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light, and the Kane & Lynch Collection. If you already locked in your purchase for t...

UPDATE: Due to me having car trouble and not being able to update this till now, the contest has been arbitrarily and retroactively extended to 1:08 PM EST. Any entries before this time now qualify for prizes. Isn't this great?  H...

This weekend's Square Enix Publisher Weekend sale has some ridiculous deals. Some of my childhood favorites that I didn't even know made it to PC are on there, including the whole Legacy of Kain series. Here's some of the highlights: Final...

Some gamers are skipping Grand Theft Auto V, unwilling to play the role of a thief, a gangbanger, or a psychopath. While others may shy away from being the villain, Jim Sterling actively revels in it. Indeed, to play the villain can not on...

Am I the only one who finds this just a little freakin' insane? Enslaved: Odyssey to the West failed to even sell half a million copies, while the absolutely dreadful Kane & Lynch 2 -- with its half-finished campaign, crappy multiplayer...

Has critical and commercial failure spelled the end for the Kane & Lynch series? According to Eidos president Ian Livingstone, it hasn't. He believes that the characters of Kane and Lynch are just too good to kill off, and we have not s...

It would appear that "you didn't get it" has officially become the popular way of developers to escape acknowledging criticism of their games. While talking about Kane & Lynch 2, IO Interactive has joined the ranks of Silicon ...

To me, Kane & Lynch seems like an ideal candidate for the whole game-to-movie conversion process. You strip out the technical and mechanical issues, and hopefully, hopefully, you have an interesting story. Jamie Foxx and Bruce Willis ar...

I've ostensibly guaranteed that Square Enix will never send me a review copy again.  Ah well.

If you play Kane & Lynch 2 and feel that there's not enough content with its five-hour story mode and limited multiplayer maps, then don't worry. IO Interactive was busy preparing downloadable content instead of finishing development of...

Kane & Lynch: Dead Men was one of the most notorious games of this generation. Famously bad, the game made headlines after a GameSpot reviewer gave it a low score and ended up fired because, allegedly, it had upset Eidos and the site's ...

While this launch trailer is all CG, it captures what the game is perfectly. A gritty f*cked up shooter starring two anti-heroes that don't give a damn. We've seen the game a ton already here at Destructoid -- from the single-player to the...

There's about a week left before Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days comes out, so you should get on the pre-orders if you're interested. There's actually four different pre-order content packs that you'll nab at retailers Amazon, Best Buy, GameS...

Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days is out in a couple of weeks now, August 17th to be exact, which means that we'll no doubt see a lot of videos and screenshots of the title for a fortnight. Why, just look at these piping hot new videos we ...

I'll say one thing for Square Enix and Eidos, they've not been shy on the trailer front. Here is another video for Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days, this one centered around Marcus Kane, the embittered ex-mercenary who decided to travel to Sha...

Here's a brand new trailer and a batch of fresh screenshots for Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days, otherwise known as pretty much the only retail game in August that I'm looking forward to. The latest trailer is pretty mental, with lots of viol...

We previously told you that a Kane & Lynch comic book was on the way. All well and good, especially considering the flawed-but-interesting nature of K&L, but now we have something even better: a couple of pages from the debut issue,...

All you PS3 owners out there who have been waiting to get your hands on the Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days like 360 owners have been doing for a while now don't have to wait much longer -- as long as you pay Sony 50 bucks a year or 18 bucks eve...

Can't wait to step into the shoes of a schizophrenic sociopath and shoot Chinese policemen in the face? Good news is coming your way then, with news that Square Enix is publishing Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days a week earlier in the US and Eu...

A fresh batch of Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days screenshots are here for your amusement. Look at them if you like looking at screenshots of things.  After having played the demo, I am keeping myself optimistically hopeful for the full ga...

We've already told you all about Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days' multiplayer mode "Fragile Alliance," and I'm sure you're chomping at the bit to get some time with it. However, you might want to take a step back and get some practice in before ...

I'm one of the most forgiving writers you'll find on the subject of Kane & Lynch: Dead Men. No, it wasn't a good game, packed full of balancing and technical problems, but its commitment to miserable protagonists and unconventional game...

So, Nick told you about the forthcoming Kane & Lynch 2 demo. I'm here to remind you it's no longer forthcoming. While a traditional open-to-all demo is coming to PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 before the game comes out, you can head he...
