ZeroTolerance writes, "I love reviewing downloadable games. It seems developers and publishers get more of an opportunity to take chances on titles. EA has been on a role now with the recently released DeathSpank and now Klei Entertainment's action side-scroller Shank. What makes Shank so special is not its inventive game design, but more the style it conveys. Seemingly ripped straight out of the pages of a graphic novel, the art style of Shank really stands out in a sea of traditional brown and gray action games. It also helps that it plays like something straight out of an 80s arcade, complete with everything guys love: blood, booze and guns."
In part two of Patched’s second episode the Player 2 boys talk about their recent gaming lives, provide updates on the fantasy draft and introduce the indie game of the month for April.
This week's Humble Weekly Bundle looks like a must-buy. You can pay what you want for Shank 2, Blocks That Matter, and BIT.TRIP RUNNER. Paying $6 or more gets you Runner 2, Fly'n, and Megabyte Punch. If you're willing to spend $10 or more, you can get King Arthur's Gold and Mark of the Ninja: Special Edition.
The newest Humble Weekly Sale just went live and it currently features three games from Klei Entertainment. For the next week, the Canadian studio’s three most well-known titles will be available for purchase at unbeatable prices.
Great review, anybody know the length of the game? I plan on buying it.
Just played the trial, pretty impressed.
