PC - Kane & Lynch: Dead Men - Kane and Lynch: Dead Men CVG Preview

...from CVG

"Bus stations are never nice places at the best of times - they usually smell a bit like wee, and once, in Bedford bus station, a man of around 60 walked up to me, stared me in the eyes and hooted like an owl.

True story. It was terrifying. This bus station, however, takes the biscuit.

Kane & Lynch trailer gets probation

PC News | Kane & Lynch: Dead Men

The first teaser trailer for sociopath-and-psychopath actioner Kane & Lynch has been released, layering on even more grit and grimness with an angsty narration by Kane's daughter.

Will Kane and Lynch mob PS3?

PC News | Kane & Lynch: Dead Men

Thursday 31 August 2006 We've been impressed with what we've seen of buddy-movie-for-psychopaths Kane & Lynch: Dead Men but among our lingering questions was whether or not Sony's console will be in on the heist.

It doesn't mean that we can't do any other platforms - but those are the ones we have as a simultaneous release right now," game director Jens Peter Kurup diplomatically explained. "We're pretty proud of doing multiplatform stuff and we ... » Read More
