Bruce Willis to star in Kane and Lynch the movie (Kane & Lynch: Dead Men)

21/10/2009

Critical Gamer Writes: Kane and Lynch is probably best known amongst gamers for sparking the furore at Gamespot which resulted in reviewer Jeff Gerstmann's dismissal from the site, after scoring the game as a 6/10. Despite the relatively lacklustre reviews and critical response, the movie version still sits just over the horizon and having Bruce Willis on board will no doubt raise it's profile.

European PS Store update for 1st May (Kane & Lynch: Dead Men)

1/05/2008

"So far since the launch of the new PS Store, European has seen it's fair share of good quality updates. Certainly, the situation appears to be much better than before and SCEE seem to be coming good on their promise that they would 'sort the situation out' by the Summer.

It would be a shame, therefore, to see a lacklustre update this week, wouldn't it?"

13/02/2008

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.
