"Kane and Lynch could have been so good. It comes from the guys who brought us Hitman, after all, and it seeks to provide the player with a much more character-focused, story-driven experience than 95% of the games available on the market today.
Kane and Lynch, as was promised to us, would have been a slam-bang Hollywood blockbuster with interesting, amoral protagonists and an intense crime plot. What went wrong?
A lot, unfortunately. A hell of a lot."

Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "The video game industry is a pretty cutthroat place. More often than not the cycle of a game’s life is pretty set in stone – a title is announced, hyped ,released and hopefully it’s a hit. However sometimes things don’t go as planned and a game doesn’t hit home with gamers. Not that’s it a bad game per say but due to a myriad of issues or the general mood of the world at the time the game isn’t remembered so fondly as its contemporaries. So for this week’s Top 10 we’re listing off ten titles that you should probably give a second chance to because they really are decent titles and deserve more love than they ever got."
I enjoyed Kane and Lynch. I would love to see a PS All-Stars 2 or a non-Smash take on a PlayStation fighter. Maybe a Marvel v Campcom style but with larger levels.
I’d rather Nintendo give Star Fox Assault a second chance and make another new game in that style. I like that game way better than Star Fox Adventures
I heartily agree.
Maybe even a sequel with that new walker from Star Fox Zero.[yes I know it's originally from Star Fox 2, but most of us know it from Zero because we didn't get to play SF2.]
More people played SF2 than SFZ thanks to SNES Mini, and emulation. Also, Star Fox Adventure > Star Fox Assault.
The Conduit.
Just, give us a reboot of that for Switch and make it bigger and better than the original, which had potential but never got off the ground due to being on the Wii.
Castlevania 64 was an amazing game for its time and I'd LOVE to see it get a proper remake or reboot.
In addition to retaining Hitman, IO kept ownership of Freedom Fighters, a 2003 third-person shooter that appeared on sixth gen consoles and received high praise.
I played Freedom Fighter on PC when I was a kid. Damn, the game was so freaking good.
I can live with this IO. So how about that sequel, so I can forgive you already?
WOW!!!!!! I would be so hyped if Freedom Fighters returned but it's very disappointing that Kane and Lynch is still on ice because the story has so much potential. Both games also features Jesper Kyd's best work.

3/10. Ouch.
this generation is all about extremes perfect or garbage.
Well, ths is not the first review (GamerTV last weekend didn't like it much) to pour scorn onto Kane and Lynch so I have cancelled my pre-order. Shame, was looking forward to it as early previews showed promise.
Plenty of decent games out this month to keep me going til MGS4.
i rented the game yesterday and its GARBAGE...the aiming is awkward, seems like the bullets dont register sometimes. The multi-player is cool is you forget how bad the gameplay is. 5/10 at most for this game, stay away from it...
