Comign in 2007 on PC and Xbox 360 from IO Interactive - the creators of Hitman - is Kane & Lynch: Dead Men. It's a 3rd person action-shooter from a studio that has a solid track record of creating, umm, 3rd person action shooters. Still, they're good at it, so why not.

Kane & Lynch: Dead Men is a dark and gritty tale of two men bound by circumstance as they wait on death row for their final sentence. One is a flawed mercenary, the other a medicated psychopath. The two are forced to embark on a violent and chaotic journey, hating each other every step of the way.

"No gamer will have experienced anything like this before, both graphically and in terms of gameplay. Take IO's innovation and graphical excellence from the Hitman series, add some of their widely acclaimed squad expertise from Freedom Fighters, then take these to a new level in next-generation technology. Add a gripping story, an anti-hero and a psychopath and you get Kane & Lynch: Dead Men; the ultimate next generation experience," said Larry Sparks, Global Head of Brands Management at Eidos.

Kane & Lynch: Dead Men is a story-driven, fully co-operative third-person action shooter title, with intuitive crew mechanics, heavily populated destructible real-world scenarios, a volatile partnership and brutal attitude. Kane & Lynch: Dead Men will be available on Xbox 360 and PC in 2007.
