Kane & Lynch, Crossfire Coming to PS3

Eidos parent company SCi will release Kane & Lynch: Dead Men and Crossfire for PS3.

This sets up Kane & Lynch, the next shooter from the Hitman boys, for a simultaneous release on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC this year. Crossfire meanwhile, a new game from the developer behind the Conflict series, will arrive next year on the same platforms.

SCi also says it's in advanced negotiations for the film rights to the Kane & Lynch film, following up the Hitman flick which is currently in production with Fox.

As you'd expect from the makers of the Hitman series, Dead Men doesn't pull any punches.  Tt's an adults only, story-driven adventure that would put most Hollywood action movies to shame.  Playing as Kane, a deadly mercenary who has been busted free from an appointment on death row (and then ordered to recover a stash of loot belonging to his previous employers) you play the game accompanied by the massively unstable schizophrenic, Lynch - also sentenced to death, also freed by the crime gang Seven and now charged with keeping an eye on Kane. The two hate each other but must work together to stay alive on their globe-trotting mission.
