I finally got to lay my hands onJoe Danger: The Movieat PAX East and I had a blast....

Like it or not,Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Daysis happening, and IO has released a (presumably intentional) low-fi trailer to celebrate. The video shows that schizophrenic maniac James Seth Lynch actually seems to be somewhat settled down with a female companion, while the more level-headed Kane is up to no good, and apparently in a very bad situation.

Dtoid ForumiteLord Regulusrecently posted aninteresting editorialdetailing the gaming community’s infatuation with “innovative” games. Is it fair to ignore a gamejustbecause it brings nothing new to the table? Are “unusual” games necessarily better than ones that adhere to safe rules of game design?
