  Kane and Lynch Review

  First off, No special graphics or pictures as I couldn't even draw my self out of a box. No less find out how to make stuff in photoshop any time soon.

  Kane and Lynch is one of those games you love to love yet can not fully tell peopel they should buy it or do you feel compelled to buy it unless on sell in a few years for another playthrough. If you have ever played a Hitman game noticably the latest one Blood Money you have a idea what the combat system is in this games as it uses a improve combat system from the hitman series.

  Now first off if you like HEAT or Colliterial or any other Micheal Mann(spelling) Flims you need to go and pick this game up for a rental ASAP. The game's main story is that Kane is offered a deal by his old partner's he betrayed to get back all the money he stole in 3 days and this way only Kane will be killed and not his wife and daughter as well. From here you go on with the story of other character you love to hate.

  The first main mission is you on a bank heist and a shootout with the cops and bank secuirty guns blazing as you leap into your get away van then have a shootout with cops on the highway that are chasing you as you try to evade them. This is only the tip of a great story full of your typical at the end of there rob criminals there is no pretty boys here girls. Only hardend criminals willing to shoot anyone who gets in there way.

  The main flaw is the game ends rather shortly I would say maybe 6 hours and the multiplayer while a great concept of robbing a bank with others then having the abailty to betray your team mates. Feels tacked on and not worthy of to many hours of investment. The main conceren some think is the controls and the aiming which I find is more realsitic which may turn some people off of the game depending how arcurate you like.

  From a small personal experaince of shooting my ex's 9mm pistol I could see how under stress, filled with anderaline drugs and being shot at. Firing a high powered rifle may need to require you a few clips full to accurately hit your target. Plus it seems from many i've heard of when you fire a gun the bullet lacks a direct path to the target but can be inches away from where you aimed.

  The effect though is a great feeling of being in huge gunfights with cops empyting bullets and bullets out into a city. One scene has you moving car to car firing your gun out over a crowaded streets as your bullets take down kids adults cops or anyone who gets between you and the cops.

  -----

  Overall I would give the game a must rent title. It offers a blockbuster crime movie feel and devliers many fun and amazing amounts as well as a story that with two endings will either make you feel a,"Damned if you do, Damned if you don't" feeling.

  The word Sympathy

  Been awhile sense my last post,due to personal time restraints and apprently a mod who did not like the fact I said im deaf on one of the fourms.I think a good issue of one is a bit of social psychology or just sociology due to laziness,Mixed with objective reasoning and a bit of philosophical rejectivism,Im looking at you Kantism.

  I think the word Sympathy and feeling of Sympathy stems from a place of being better off then others and feeling bad that your better. Now I can relate this to if you've read my previous blogs my somewhat off colored life i've held many will hear the stories I have to share. Their almost imeditate response is to give out Sympathy in the forms of words such as,"Im so sorry to hear that" or,"I wish I could beat X,Y and Z up" all the way to,"your stories make me cry thinking of it". Instead of making the person fell better about themselves it creates a sense of doubt.

  Imagine if you were in a cave all your life and never took a step outside,Then one day you go outside into a town and the first people you tell your story repeat,"Im so sorry" you would be confused as you would have no idea why your life would have to be pityed. It creates a sense your life which you thought was good or even ok was really not with these words.

  I think a main issue with Sympathy is that it allows a person a outlet to show emotions without really caring, People have Sympathy with the poor but few due anything about it. Alot also have issues with abuse of all levels as well as rape yet again few attempt to do much about it or try to make a differance instead of just a few choice words.

  I have had this talk before and the answer I commonly get from higher educated,some would say people who think alot, Was that instead of Sympathy. As a society we should be looking out for Empathy, empathy allows us to feel the pain of others or relate to them and relaize that there life is different then others and rather then just choice words it will allows us to see what would be the best way to help. Maybe a person needs a hug, or food in their stomach, or maybe just to be left alone as its in the past for them. What ever the issue I think Empathy is something few people care to embrace these days.

  -------------------------------

  So without more ramblings, What is one issue you can relate to with Sympathy. Do you ever tell a story about a part of your life and get people saying how sorry they are. Do the responses ever make your happier or think what you did was shameful?, would you get mad if a person just nodded and said I could see the challenges in that and either exaimed the feelings abit,with questions, or just moved on.
