U360′s Best of PAX
Kane & Lynch: Dead Men
Developer: IO Interactive
Publisher: Eidos
Release date: Nov 2007
People were consistently on the controllers getting some action and it’s because the action was pretty intense. It had some issues with controls (hey it was a demo) but overall it put on a great show. As soon as the elevators open, you feel the intensity of the “escape”.
The two title characters seem perfect together. I’m not sure how to say it but I just got this huge adrenaline rush trying to make it to a bus for my getaway. If you’re a fan of heist movies and action flicks, you’ll be right at home with Kane & Lynch.

What about Mass Effect and Assassin’s Creed, DB? Thoughts/Comments?

Thanks Deacon, nice roundup

@Fizzy, both looked really good…especially Assassin’s Creed but the key to this particular Best of PAX is that these games were “playable”.

I know I need some other way of saying it…But, great stuff Deac. Now I’m just wondering what titles are planned for next year because there’s almost too many A+ titles(only too many when there is nothing left in your wallet after the first few)

just doing what i think you guys would enjoy Jokar
and you’re right, there are too many A+ titles on the way. which is a good thing.

@DB, I see. =/ But, I’m definitely picking up AC this holiday!
@Jokar; GTA IV, Lost Odyssey, Splinter Cell: ConViction, and The Last Remnant are some that I’m salivating over for 2008.
