Edge: Shank, despite the pointed pseudonym, is pure blunt instrument. Fiery of temper and thick of neck, he barrels through the game’s brisk but brutal run time like Schwarzenegger in his prime, minus the one-liners. The game from which he takes his name is equally cinematically inspired, owing as much to Tarantino’s more kinetic efforts as it does to genre trailblazers like Double Dragon. Notably, the violence is at once cartoonish, adult and satisfying.
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.
