Never rely on chances. Ever. Because it may turn out the same way as for us: After we planed for a nice gentlemen's day with Mr. Kane and Lynch of the same-named game Kane & Lynch: Dead Men for the Xbox 360 or Playstation 3, we ended up having our plans blown due to extremely bad luck. After reading the reviews for this title, we calculated that the approximately 6 hours of gameplay one gets out of it aren't really worth about 50 bucks for this one. So we familiarized with the idea of renting it at the local video stores. Since it isn't really a blockbuster-title, ratings are just average, it's already out for some time and we had 3 video stores to check in total, we thought our chance of getting hold of a copy should be pretty high. Well, we were dead wrong. First store: 1 copy for Xbox 360 - gone. Second store: 1 copy for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 - gone too. Third store: 2 copys for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 - also gone. To sum it up: All 7 copies rented! Felt like someone bitch-slapped you hard, I tell you. Anyway, after this letdown (and some problems with microsoft's gamertag recovery system), we settled for another round of Gears-coop-insane-mode-action and Halo 3 skull-hunting on legendary which turned out to be a hell of fun again. All-in-all not our luckiest day. But hey, can't hold true geeks down, can you!? However, hope we'll have better luck next Saturday. Well, and if not... there are still Locust to defeat and skulls to collect. But I really would love to kick some ass K&L-style next time!Sunday, December 09, 2007
