17:33 Uhr - Es gab bereits vor ein paar Tagen eine Demo zu Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days, die konnten allerdings nur Teilnehmer eines Spezialprogramms abrufen, das bei uns noch nicht mal verfügbar war. Aber auch alle Normalsterblichen sollen schon vor dem offiziellen Release der Vollversion (20. August) die Möglichkeit bekommen, das Sequel des eher unrühmlich in Erinnerung gebliebenen "IO Interactive"-Shooters auszoprobieren. Neben Angaben zum Demoterminen für alle drei Versionen von Kane & Lynch 2 sind inzwischen auch alle Achievements/Trophies des Actiongames enthüllt worden. *UPDATE*

Ein exaktes Demodatum der freien Demo-Veröffentlichung existiert bisher zwar nur für die PlayStation 3, welche am 27. Juli mit der Anspielfassung von Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days beglückt wird, offiziell heißt es allerdings vielversprechend, dass PC & Xbox 360 ebenfalls innerhalb der nächsten Woche damit beliefert werden. Wer den Premiumdienst "PlayStation Plus" abonniert hat, darf als bevorzugter Kunde übrigens bereits jetzt loslegen.
