Kane & Lynch - multiplayer hands-on

PC Preview | Kane & Lynch: Dead Men

Oct 8, 2007 The more we learn about Kane & Lynch: Dead Men, the more impressed we become. At first blush, the game doesn't seem all that different from a run-of-the-mill, crime-themed third-person shooter, but everything - from the action and cinematic presentation to the story and characters - has been handled with utmost care. With that in mind, it's hardly surprising that Kane & Lynch features some of the most inventive multiplayer modes this side of Halo 3. We've already covered a lot of ...

Kane & Lynch - updated hands-on

360 Preview | Kane & Lynch: Dead Men

Sept 20, 2007 Besides having two lead characters and a crapload of bullets, any comparisons of Kane & Lynch: Dead Men to EA's Army of Two - also coming out this autumn - will end right here. There are no wisecracks, just f-bombs. There's no aggro meter or invisibility, just your bad-ass attitude. And Kane and Lynch aren't buddies, they hate each other. So, what brings a condemned-to-death killer and a medicated psychotic together? Besides the love of money and fear of death, it's the mayhem ...

Kane & Lynch: Dead Men - hands-on

PS3 Preview | Kane & Lynch: Dead Men

The airs thick with smoke, bullets and bad words. Kane (scar) and Lynch (baldy mullet) are going about their business like a machine, one unloading covering fire while the other cuts around potted plants and office furniture, shooting security staff in the back. Over the gunfire, screams and shattering glass, they shout encouragement to each other. Its classic buddy-movie stuff… with one important difference. “What the f*** are you doing? You f***** psycho!” shouts Kane, as ...

Kane & Lynch: Dead Men

PC Preview | Kane & Lynch: Dead Men

Tuesday 29 August As gaming double-acts go, the eponymous duo in Hitman developer Io Interactive's latest project is pretty unique in as much as they absolutely hate each other's guts. There's no bosom-buddy rapport, heroic camaraderie or jovial banter here, just a steady stream of 18-rated bitching and arguing. Both banged up and counting the days on death row, the pair are busted out and forced to work together by a dangerous criminal organisation wanting to recoup a substantial sum of money ...

Kane & Lynch: Dead Men - first look

360 Preview | Kane & Lynch: Dead Men

Unlike all the other buddy-buddy games with funny names (Ratchet and Clank, Jak and Daxter, etc), the brooding seriousness of Kane and Lynch: Dead Men buries gamers in a murder-soaked world that most of us hope to never visit. Then again... taking control of two out-of-their-minds assassins and tearing the world a new one sounds like one hell of a videogame. The game plays much like the Hitman series - guide your characters through a series of constantly updating missions while trying to avoid ...

Killer 7

GC Preview | Killer 7

From the moment we saw the first batch of Killer 7 shots we were instinctively drawn towards it with magnet attraction. The arresting visual style held promise of a game resisting the flow of mainstream convention.Almost two-and-a-half years later - and in the company of Killer 7 producer - we finally enjoyed our first hands-on experience of the game that defies explanation.And within five seconds we were perplexed. Following usual gaming conventions we assumed our avatar would be controlled ...

Killer 7

GC Preview | Killer 7

The sharpest, oddest death-fest on any Nintendo system ever is starting to make a little more sense now. Harman Smith's the wheelchair-bound man who holds the key to defeating evil Kun Lan and his army of suicidal Heaven's Smile bomb squad. It's his seven different personalities - all hardened assassins - that you get to play in the game, as well as Harman himself.You can switch between these personalities at key points throughout the game - only if you feel it's necessary (and you will). Each ...

Killer 7

GC Preview | Killer 7

As befits a game starring the seven murderous personalities who live inside a professional assassin's head, Killer 7 is not entirely 'normal'.'Deranged', 'unhinged', and 'utterly mental' are three of the more printable comments we heard at Capcom's recent hands-on Killer 7 demonstration in Las Vegas, an event that left us with almost as many questions as we had before it started.So how does the actual gameplay work, then? Well, it's a combination of third-person exploration, first-person combat ...
