Shank Indie Game IGF Entry

First Look

So do you like comics? In particular, gory comics with big mean protagonists? Maybe a little head imploding, chain saw massacring, Altair assassinating , God of War killing goodness. Well then Shank is the game you are looking for! This game was an entry in the Independent  Gaming  Festival for 2010, and nominated among many, for best in visuals.

Look at the Fighting Style

If you failed to pay attention to the later video, then I think one of two things needs to happen. One I give you some of my A.D.D. medicine, or I just explain what I saw.

I think we will go with number one for sake of a half decent blog post… The protagonist of this game seems like he learned how to fight by playing years of video games. Almost all of his moves have been done by previous popular titles. But this is not really a bad thing, because it actually fits together to create a sexy mutt of all my greatest memories in gaming. Then it combines it all in a graphic novel style that gives it a shiny new game smell. This game is definitely something you should check out, and I will be trying my darndest to get a demo of this game to review for this site!
