PC - Kane & Lynch: Dead Men - Kane and Lynch sold 1.4 million units -- A point for EA's John Riccitiello Buried in its restructuring statement was this bit of data from SCi/Eidos: Kane and Lynch sold 1.4 million units.

That's a solid, though far from spectacular, worldwide performance for a game that got very mixed reviews.

However SCi said it could have done much better. "We believe it could have sold more had we optimised the opportunity," it said in a statement.

PC News from N4G | Kane & Lynch: Dead Men
PC - Kane & Lynch: Dead Men - Kane & Lynch 2 in development? Videogamer writes: The Official PlayStation Magazine, is reporting that Kane & Lynch 2 is in development.

As revealed on the official PlayStation EU forum, the magazine says: "Sci has announced Kane & Lynch 2 is already in development."

The news came as some surprise to us here at VideoGamer.com, so we thought we'd check with UK publisher Eidos, owned by SCi. We've been told we're getting a response "ASAP", so you can stay right there on the edge of your seat.

If true, the news won't come as a surprise. Despite lower-than-expected review scores, the game has sold over a million units since its release in November 2007.

Dec 5, 2007 Enter the US side of Eidos' official Kane & Lynch website, and you are greeted by an unintentionally appropriate quote taken from Game Informer magazine, which ends: "What could go wrong?". Well, cripes, where do we start? Even the most casual of internet-fed gamers must be aware of the firestorm raging around IO Interactive's new game. And Kane & Lynch's profile certainly hasn't been bolstered by accusations of Eidos allegedly falsifying review scores advertised on the official ... » Read More

PC - Kane & Lynch: Dead Men - Kane & Lynch Site Fibbing About Reviews, Scores It's not like the relationship between Kane & Lynch and review scores wasn't messy enough. But now this? Visitors to the game's official site will notice, once the page's flash intro is done, that two review scores for the game are flashed for your perusal. One from GameSpy, one from Game Informer. Both look positively glowing! Both give the game a very encouraging five stars! Thing is, both are...well, not real. They're fabricated. Lies, if you will.

GameSpy did not say "It's the best emulation of being in the midst of a Michael Mann movie we've ever seen" in their review of the game. They said that in their E3 2007 coverage. In other words, a preview. They also did not give the game five stars. They gave it three.

As for Game Informer, same deal. The highlighted quote does not appear in the review of the game. Nor do they give it five stars. Game Informer don't even score in stars. They gave it a 7/10.

PC - Kane & Lynch: Dead Men - Exclusive: Gertsmann speaks about K&L review, future "Losing a job you've held for over 11 years in an abrupt manner is shocking, yes."

While the above quote should perhaps win Jeff Gerstmann the 'understatement of the year' award, the former Gamespot editorial director is still staying silent about the specifics surrounding his recent firing (citing the previously mentioned "legal reasons," among others). He has, however, told Joystiq that he still stands behind his controversial review of Kane & Lynch.

PC - Kane & Lynch: Dead Men - Gerstmann-gate: Sunday morning update Developments have slowed down a little bit over the weekend, but there is still plenty of chatter around the web about Gamespot's controversial firing of Jeff Gerstmann. Among the juicier bits from around the intertubes:

* In response to a Gamespot forum thread, the new Gamespot Manager of Community Development said he is "eagerly anticipating the official word to be released on Tuesday."
* Gamespot freelancer Frank Provo: "Personally, my respect for CNet is shot, and writing for GameSpot is going to feel like a chore for quite some time going forward."

PC - Kane & Lynch: Dead Men - Petition to Remove GameSpot and its Sponsors from Metacritic The author of the petition writes: "We the games community, based on the recent events that have transpired with the game review conglomerate GameSpot.com hereby present the following petition to Metacritic's chief operations officer in charge of content.

On November 29, 2007 GameSpot.com fired its chief editor in charge of game reviews Jeff Gerstmann. Because of a number of issues relating to game reviews, a number of employees left GameSpot completely even while their reviews are still up on that site. In the process, it became immediately clear that GameSpot's reviews are largely inconsistent as well as possibly fraudulent for certain games across all platforms.

We as gamers can not, and will not tolerate shady business practices in the video games industry as in the end that ruins gaming for everyone who will not tow the line".

PC - Kane & Lynch: Dead Men - Sony, Pepsi, Dell, Support Gamespot Not all advertisers are headed out the door, over the Gamespot controversy. Several companies, like Mountain Dew (Pepsi), Dell, and Sony are devouring the now available inventory left by the exodus of game ads.

From the article: "Despite boycotts and canceled subscriptions, it seems at least some companies recognize a hot topic when they see one. Unfortunately for those companies, many gamers are taking mental notes."

"If they want to support Gamespot's total breakdown in editorial credibility, then they have to understand that there are consequences involved," said 'HulleyToe', a gamer from San Mateo, CA. "It may not hurt them now, but just as advertisers use their dollars to influence companies like Gamespot and CNET, I can use my money to influence the advertisers."
