MSNBC contributor Scott Taves reviews Kane & Lynch: Dead Men:
"Games have an uneven record when it comes to character development, storytelling and atmosphere. Too often the emphasis is on frames-per-second and surface textures. It's no wonder many games leave me feeling cold and unmoved.
'Kane & Lynch: Dead Men', out now for PS3, PC, and Xbox 360, is an exception to the graphics-driven norm..."
His verdict: Buy it
Zach writes: 'IO Interactive have developed a number of highly regarded titles during their two-decade long run. The Hitman games have always been huge commercial and critical successes, and even lesser-known titles like Freedom Fighters ended up as a cult classic.'.
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
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.
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.
FOR ME!!
Damage control... Eidos got to MSNBC too. What a pie'ce a' damn joke! I tell everyone who comes into my store how terrible this game is when they ask about it. I do the same with Assassins Creed.
This game is good though. I liked it. I just played it a little, but it was fun. Graphics are terrible and stuff, but the game is fun.
Maybe the MSNBC video game guy is worried he'll get fired...
You can't deny that is really shady !!!!!

We must send them a message they won't ever forget !!
