The elephant in the room - Kane & Lynch reviews :D

[Taylor]

I don't quite understand where this is going, but to get on the bandwagon ahead of time: Are we for or against threats and deceit?

Are we for or against threats and deceit?

Note that there is no proof or confirmation about threats, just one anonymous person claiming that it was.

Well, I think some people commenting here are wrong - the review scores may definitely vary depending on the publisher.

As the makers of the games, we like to think that they are merely rated on their quality, but there is also the business side of things to consider. A publisher spending big advertising money on a site is certainly more likely to receive favourable reviews for their games on that site.

SCi Entertainment and subsidiary Eidos said Thursday that Kane and Lynch: Dead Men has sold over 1 million copies at retail since its mid-November launch.

And the demo is released as well - rocks

[Mazy]

Yeah, I'll take whatever good news I can get

played the demo too. was quite buggy for me, all shadows were rendered on top of the geometry. and i thought the demo was a bit too short. but still it looked promising. and you just gotta love the slightly blurry cityscape when on top of the building.

now please announce the next hitman title soon!

[Zacker]

So it might actually break even afterall...

I think the concept and marketing alone could probably get the game its sales. Even after knowing the gameplay was meant to be a bit mediocre, I saw huge magazine spreads for it and it just made me want to play it regardless. The characters (both how they look and their backstory) and plot is really compelling.

You can stop worrying now - million-seller is good news indeed!

Fuck reviews, cash is king.
