Kane and Lynch Sells 1 mln
By Kris Graft
SCi Entertainment and subsidiary Eidos said Thursday that Kane and Lynch: Dead Men has sold over 1 million copies at retail since its mid-November launch. The strong global sales essentially guarantee a sequel to the game, which was developed by the studio behind the top-selling Hitman series.
“We anticipate a positive sales trend to continue through the remainder of FY08 and for Kane and Lynch to firmly establish itself as another key franchise for the Group,” said SCi in a statement.
UK-based SCi added that Kane and Lynch's sales-to-date for the comparable period have exceeded those of 2006’s Hitman Blood Money.
Developed by IO Interactive, Kane and Lynch launched on November 13 in the US and November 23 in Europe.
SCi also said that Pony Friends, launched in May 2007, has sold 600,000 units on the Nintendo DS, life-to-date.
The publisher added that Tomb Raider: Anniversary for Wii, which released during the Christmas period, has “performed well” and has received reorders.

-
I guess high sales make things good
transformers, a classic in our time
-
The game is fuck terrible, though.
-
So what, doesn't mean you AINT OWNED BIATCH
bu bu bu lets boycott
-

As opposed to demi, who's just a terrible fuck.
Or as he's known on GAF, ****.
-
i liked that game.
-
I never boycotted anything, I just had no interest in the game to begin with based on what I saw and read
I remain unowned
-
Its really not bad. I rather enjoyed it even. The sequel should be tops.
-
pony friends sequel? plz
-
So what, doesn't mean you AINT OWNED BIATCH
bu bu bu lets boycott
The only reason I am owned is because I paid full price for it! BITCH.
Worst controls in a game since GunValk. OW MY THUMBS. A 6.0 was TOO HIGH
-
pwnzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzord
-
It sold a million and owned a billion, sure give it a go
-
Should I bother playing this?
It requires relatively frequent thumb stick clicking, and the controls in general are rather loose. I really, really wanted to like this game because I heard it played a bit like Freedom Fighters. I guess it does feel somewhat like Freedom Fighters with shitty XTREME characters, godawful controls, and lots of shitty cursing.
-
Hurray for **** & ***** and **** Raider. :bow
There's some sandy vaginas over at GAF. :lol
-
so who got owned exactly?
Anyway Ive played the demo, semmed pretty clunky and B grade but that never stopped me before, the XTREME characters and dialogue were quite fun, and the whole thing was quite over the top. i'll get it if I see it for cheap. Ditto for Stranglehold
-
PS3 version probably put it over the top. 360 is dead in 08.
-
Lots of ownage all around
-
you said it, just wait until the port of Eternal Sonata hits, its going to be a bloodbath
-
Never played the game. Never had any interest in it. Time to celebrate though!
Boycott...lololololololololololololololol
-
I think the majority of gaffots stopped playing games a long time ago and just go online to bitch and whine about how butthurt gaming has left them
-
Just another epic pwning by me
-
So, it's like Advent Rising, but people bought the game? ???

It's too bad you're banned demi, you could join us over at GAF and we could all laugh and cavort like the Greeks of old (you know the ones I mean). Today is National LAF at GAF Day!
-
Don't worry hitler, Advent Rising is still shit.
You wanna play some Marble Blast Ultra later on tonight?
-
I'll play too! Marble Blast Ultra :bow
oh wait fuck microsoft is gay I need to make a thread about my probable gamertag change

CockJuice.
Tell them it's named after a hot new chicken smoothie that you've just patented and is currently all the rage in Long Island.
-
Chicken smoothie :bow
-
It's such an ass game :\
-
Man now im tempted to try this :(
I do need to go pick up some Blu Rays - im sure Best Buy has a chartfest title like this in stock.
-
Which game kev?
-
I think I'm just gonna go with Cajole. I bet "TheJuice" is taken.

Did you ever get in touch with MS? Is that the real problem?
-
Yea, apparently. I'm not sure if I actually got a straight answer...but she did say "offensive" at some point. She also said that it didn't specify why that happened because it's an automatic process. I don't care enough to really pursue it further...although maybe I should sue them like an idiot. I've been using the name online for a bunch of programs/services for years and have never had a problem.
-
Time for me to call Jeff Bell in your stead.
-
Haha. I can only imagine this conversation. I've had similar conversations and I almost always fall back on, "I don't think you quite understand!"
Weird though.
-
I always feel bad, because I know the person I'm talking to doesn't really have power over the situation. She's looking at a screen that is telling her next to nothing.
Also, before I even called up, I read a Major Nelson blog post and it said how there's really no way to appeal such an action on your gamertag. So I went in with a pretty defeatist attitude, knowing nothing would be done anyhow.
-
maybe you shouldnt pick a shitty tag next time
-
Nah, it's just apparently too awesome for XBL. I doubt I'd have trouble on PSN. :bow
-
once again, demi ftw
maybe you should just listen to me more often
-
I listen to you, it just takes me months and/or years to take action.

JOjuice is official. I wonder how long that will last.

Gaffers, do not represent gaming as whole. I don't know when some of them are going to let go of that illusion. If that was the case Shadow of the Colossus would have been a million seller and the Dreamcast would still be a viable platform.
-
they released a demo of this lastnight on the PSN - I haven't tried it yet - but im excited to see what this game is about.
-
I played the demo just now.
+ It looked alot better than I expected it to look or thought it looked in stills...
+ the music seemed decent as did the sounds, ambience, etc...
- I didnt get the controls at all
- I didnt really have any fun
I would say its fair to try again when i know how to actually shoot/fight something :(
The quality seemed higher than what i expected too...

Too late, but these are very good possibilities when I inevitably have to change my gamertag again.
