Lara Croft & the Guardian of Light half off, Kane and Lynch character packs available today on XBLM

@Wizardsofwaverly I played the game, the price pretty much speaks for itself. Shame of it is, this would have been an awesome game, had it actually had a real plot, some form of character development, some variety to game play . . . and the enemy AI was not as dumb as a log.

Multiplayer was sweet though. But with the matches limited to only a few short minutes, multiplayer matches ended just when they started getting good.

I think the real crime though, is the lack of any character development - there was a lot more character development in the first game. Kane and Lynch have to be two of the most interesting character profiles to show up in a video game in a good while. Just breaking down the psychological profile on these two guys, there is just so much potentially interesting stuff there. But Eidos has no clue what to do with any of it. So in Dog Days, the boys pretty much come off as one dimensional, and at times even border on buffoons. Which is sad, as I was really looking forward to a gritty crime drama with lots of action, that managed to allow the depth of these two characters to really shine through and leave a lasting impression on the player - you know, do for games what Scarface did for cinema back in the early 1980s.

The only thing we got, was lots of action, most of it pretty much meaningless, absolutely no variety in game play, shoddy AI, and two of gaming's most interesting characters who did not grow one iota as they journeyed through what would have had to be the worst two days imaginable in anyone's life.

@SteamPunkJin It's free? It's free! Jolly nice!

Between the Steam and XBLA sales my backlog of games is getting absurd

@Faceless Troll It actually does, cause it's easier and more fun to play cooperative on the same couch.

@Rhamsey It was released in October.

@Revealer24 Same goes for me. I grabbed it last night (went on sale early) and played for an hour or so. Just as fun as I remember.
