    I've seen the PAX demo and it was amazing. The street gun fights reminded me of Heat a lot. Eidos are doing a great job with their games lately (Tomb Raider Anniversary and Hitman: Blood Money were excellent) so I'm willing to bet this one is going to be great too.

    Yeah should be a terrific game. I cannot wait to play this one.

    I loved Freedom Fighters, but K&L looks like a better movie than a game.

    This game looks great. I never really payed any attention to it, but it's turning out to be looking good.

    "Heat: The Game" does indeed look pretty cool. As you said, I'm also expecting a score in the 8 range, and a solid title to check out once all the big guns are out of the way.

    If this has online co-op I might get it. But you also got Army of Two.

    Looked good from the coverage at PAX 2007.

    It looks interesting.

    I'd rather Contra 4 instead.

    Oh yea. Looks great. Movie style but I think it'll do great.
    @ Starfry- They are honing in on the Co-Op features because of Kane and Lynch's relationship. When one gets mad the other has to calm him down, when one is shot the other has to drag him to cover, etc etc. If they do it well It will be a sleeper hit.

    It's just a general comment, but I don't usually enjoy games from Eidos... I find the games they make have too much in common.

    Kane and Lynch looks very cool. I will be picking the game up sometime after it comes out.

    K&L got my attention the first time I saw it. I figured it'll be at least worth a play through. I'd predict an 8.0, possibly a 7.5.

    This should rock hard
