If you've been browsing through PlayStation Store you may have noticed a few rough editions. Kane & Lynch: Dead Men, and the sequel, Kane & Lynch: Dog Days, are now available for download. Both of the games received mixed reviews, but they're pretty good with a co-op partner. If you haven't played them yet, you may want to embrace your inner criminal and take one of these for a spin.
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 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.
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.
Sure he may not be in peak physical, or mental, condition, but Lynch is one of the more interesting character to come around the world of videogames in sometime. The feedback from the community echoed that statement, IO Interactive listened, and decided to focus on him for Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days.

The wheelie bin wondered what it had done to deserve being caught in the cross fire
