Kane & Lynch: Dead Men/Trivia

• Dueling Games: Kane & Lynch: Dead Men was announced and released around the same time as the original Army of Two, and had a similar premise (Automatic Cover-Based Third-Person Shooter set in a Darker and Edgier version of the real world with emphasis on Co-Op play between snarky and morally repugnant protagonists). By odd coincidence both games had sequels set in Shanghai, although Dog Days was announced several months after Army Of Two: The 40th Day.
  • They also have the same basic plot—A job goes south, and the title characters have to get out of Shanghai. Both received average reviews—although Dog Days received more praise for its plot than The 40th Day.
• Fan Nickname: "Alcoholic" for the vaultbreaker.
• Hey, It's That Voice!: Kane is Alex Shepherd and the Silver Surfer, and Lynch is Dr. Michael Kaufmann.
• Viral Marketing: A rather bizarre marketing campaign played up the game sequel's YouTube-ish Stylistic Suck to such a degree that you'd think Kane and Lynch were actually being tailed by the paparazzi.
