Keeping with the schedule of interesting, unpredictable choices, Microsoft has announced that Kane and Lynch 2 will will headline their Games with Gold for July, 2017. While the title was originally released for the Xbox 360, it has been on Xbox One’s list of backwards compatible games since December, 2015. Our thoughts on the game can be found, here.
Day 4 has come of the Steam Summer Sale extravaganza - and the co-op goodness keeps coming. There's six co-op titles on sale today from the big names to the little unknowns.
Steam is offering two promotions starting this week - one for you and one for your friends. The first promotion is simple - just add 10 games to your wish list and you'll automatically be entered to win your entire wish list as one of 30 winners every day. Sounds pretty simple!
The first batch of DLC is out now for Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days. Packed in its loot bag is a ton of goodies including maps, weapons, and masks for your co-op multiplayer experience. Previously most of this content was available as exclusive pre-order bonuses. The good news is this should add quite a bit of content to both Kane and Lynch 2's arcade mode and multiplayer online modes. The bad news is there's $11 worth of DLC here.
Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days may have just arrived on store shelves, but since it was pretty short by most folks' standards, players might be looking for a bit more. Lo and behold, just over the horizon, "more" is on the way. A DLC pack will be available for all versions of the game. On August 31, PC, 360, and PS3 gamers will be able to get their mitts on three seperate bundles: Multiplayer Mask Pack, Alliance Weapon Pack and Doggie Bag Pack. Each will bring "more tools of the trade and all-new hesit locations".
Kane and Lynch are back and they're heading to Shanghai China to complete a big job. But when things turn sour it's up to our co-op duo to get out alive. Our full review of the game's enhanced co-op mode, online multiplayer and more is right ahead. You might want to bring some Dramamine.
It seems it's been a while since a major co-op release has hit. Sure we've had plenty of downloadable titles, but by my count, StarCraft 2 was the last big release over a month ago. And before that Crackdown 2. So it's good to see Mr. Kane and Mr. Lynch lighting up our summer with their gritty and violent shooter Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.
The Summer of Arcade is almost over, which is going to increase our downloadable time for a few more weeks, but some full titles are still on the plate for weekend gaming with the Co-opticrew. It looks like a lot of the staff is especially excited for some Monday Night Combat!
Blood. Drug Reference. Intense Violence. Partial Nudity. Strong Language. All of these things combined together to give Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days an M rating. That pretty much puts it off this gaming dad's wish list, but even I have to admit the official launch trailer for the game is awesome. The game will be released for Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and PC next week, Tuesday to be exact. While you wait, watch the trailer over and over and count exactly how many cops these two take out.
Look, this ain't yo mamma's co-op game. There's no holding hands to pull your buddy up to a higher ledge, no working together because this metal gate is to heavy for Mr. Buffman to lift by himself, and there's definitely no fist bumps. This is Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days and the co-op tactics consist of shooting guys in the face...together...shooting exploding objects...together...and shooting...well everything...together.
Everybody has to start somewhere, and the sailor speaking, trash talking, mercenaries of Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days. Sure, Kane and Lynch's home vidoes showing off the sensitive times in their lives aren't quite like any of ours, but it's still important to take a look at the roots of Kane and Lynch. For instance, there is quite a bit of gunfire, breaking glass, screaming men, blood - well, you get the picture.
