@TheManEl You're correct. So by buying Shank 2 I do have it "permanently" (as permanently as a limited license digital download can be, I suppose), but I'll be honest... I'll probably be keeping my sub indefinitely. It *has* paid for itself, but it's irksome when they give stuff for free that I've already paid for. Some stuff (like Frogger) I bought before PS+ existed, and some stuff I bought but came free months later, but less than two months on Shank 2? Kinda weak. Hell, if I got it free, I'd probably give my old roommate the cash to buy it (he doesn't have PS+ and is very tight on cash).

It's nice that they're giving Shank 2 for free, because it's F'ing awesome, but this almost seems counterproductive. My PSN buying has already slowed a bit, but I bought Shank 2 on release because Shank 1 was F'ing awesome. But if they're going to give away games for free that have been out less than two months, I'll stop buying *any* PSN games on release. Usually PS Plus freebies are nice, but there have been a number of times where they feel like a smack in the face.

@Cranky Penguin Good F'ing question.

@A Sandwich Is it being released a week early for PS+ or a week late for PS Standard? Is it really a "perk" of PS+ or a downgrade of PS Standard? I've gotten my money's worth out of my PS+, but "early" release at the same price isn't all that great of a benefit.

@Goldenspiral Haw.

@Vic Fontaine Erm... in the UK a flashlight is called a torch.

@216 They need to come up with a way for people who already own KZ3 on disc to unlock the level cap for free. Like if your profile is already higher than the cap. Since I've finished the campaign, I'd rather just have the MP on my hard drive and get rid of the disc, but not for another $15.

Guess I could try to sell the disc online... but... meh...

@jrr Yes, there are still unlockable costumes.

Maybe I just need to get back into the groove, but I think I liked the first Shank's combat mechanics a bit better than the second. The "counter" is a nice addition, but not being able to swap weapons mid-stream and some of the grappling mechanic changes turn me off a bit. One of my most-used moves in the first one was using the fist-chains to choke guys and use them as shields, and that's gone now.

And to be honest, the cinematic animations look "cheaper" than in the first.

Still fun as hell, though. Don't know if I'll finish this one on "hard" like the last one... "normal" is pretty tough in spots. Looking forward to trying "survival."
