Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days is a video game developed by IO Interactive, published by Eidos Interactive under Square Enix available on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Microsoft Windows. It is the sequel to Kane & Lynch: Dead Men. The game switches the lead in the series, putting players in control of "self-medicated psychopath" Lynch. The story begins with Lynch having found peace in Shanghai and attempting to "make a fat deal where the pay is beyond his wildest dreams and nothing is going to get in his way." Players in the campaign mode of Kane & Lynch 2 will take control of Lynch who is backed up by the previous series protagonist Kane. The online enabled cooperative mode will allow players to play as Kane. Unlike Dead Men, players will only be able to arm up two of any weapon they can grab from dead enemies and cannot be swapped between allies. The combat system has been modified from the original game. Players can now take cover through a button press as opposed to originally being automatic depending on stance. While still having regenerating health, players can get knocked down while being able to immediately get back up.

The House of the Dead: Overkill is a prequel to the well-known SEGA arcade series, The House of the Dead. Set before events of the original House of the Dead game, OVERKILL tells the story of series star Agent G's first assignment on leaving the AMS academy.
Detective Washington is a local cop in Bayou city, a small-town Deep South backwater of a place pretty much entirely run by local plantation owner and criminal mastermind Papa Caesar.
Washington's investigation into the murder of his policeman father leads him directly to Papa Caesar's mansion on the edge of town. Arriving just in time to meet the mysterious Agent G, whose own investigations into a series of missing people have lead him too to Caesar's front door, the pair team up to take the kingpin down and uncover the whole disgusting truth.

Kane and Lynch's trek through Shanghai's underworld is astoundingly brief, leaving you just enough time to get a feel for the game's great visual style, but not much else.

This gritty cover-based shooter is better than its predecessor, but as a package, it's light on content.

Kane & Lynch 2's fantastic visual style both hinders and elevates this straightforward crime game.

I really wanted to like House of the Dead: Overkill – Extended Cut. The grindhouse aesthetic does a remarkable job of allowing players to overlook a poor technical presentation. By intentionally using a theme framed in tacky production quality, a zombie failing to find its path through a level and running into a wall could as easily be an homage as it could be a bug.

Snappy support for the PlayStation Move makes it easier to appreciate the loving grindhouse aesthetics stitched over this otherwise familiar light-gun shooter.
