Kane & Lynch — Season Finale Sep 18, 2020

Show notes

We finally end our trek through the dirty, violent, ugly worlds of the Kane & Lynch games. This time we're joined by you! We're answering a ton of listener questions about what other developers we think could make a Kane & Lynch, the games' morbidity, and Dog Days' influence on other games. Lastly, stick around until the end to hear what games we're playing in Something Rotten season 3!

Show notes

We're joined by the wonderful Cole Henry to finish our discussion of Kane & Lynch: Dog Days. Come along as we discuss how the game wraps up, its best levels, and whether it's a good or bad thing that we never saw another game quite like this.

Kane & Lynch: Dog Days — Episode 1 Sep 02, 2020

Show notes

We continue our trek through the Kane & Lynch games. Finally, after suffering through the first game, we've made it to its sequel, Dog Days. And we love it. Join us as we discuss this game's unique — and nauseating — visual aesthetic, its approach to violence, and why this game stands high above its predecessor.
