Take a Look at the Stylish Shank

[gametrailers=55491]

A gameplay trailer for Shank, a stylish side-scrolling beat-em-up, was recently shown at PAX 2009.

Shank is a stylish, violent side-scroller in development by Klei Entertainment, creators of PC and XBLA Incredible Machine mixed with Lemmings mash-up, Eets [http://www.eetsgame.com/news/index.php]. Shank's first lengthy gameplay trailer was just released at PAX 2009.

The game looks like a mix between Double Dragon and Madworld, all done in a vibrant comic-book style. Shank's main character, aptly named Shank, will tear his way through legions of enemies using weapons such as his trusty knife, chainsaw, shotgun, and dual-wielded pistols. Considering that this is one of the game's first trailers, it looks very smooth and incredibly fun. The murderous ground and air combos Shank can perform, while the camera zooms in and out and time slows down, are particularly enthralling.

Though Shank does not appear to have been announced for any particular platforms yet, I'd be surprised if it didn't hit both XBLA and PC. Check out Shank's offical blog at http://shankgame.com/ [http://shankgame.com/].

Yeah It's bloody awesome looking ain't it? The shanking is pretty brutal, it's just madness incarnate. I'm going to have to take a closer look at this once it's released.

My only concerns are these. 1. Why does everyone just stand there rather than, you know, fighting against the guy with the chainsaw?
2. Will there be more of those sweet sweet parkour tricks we saw in multiple levels?

... Huh. That looks VERY entertaining. I smell a rare occurrence coming on... one of the kind where I actually purchase something from the huge pile of excrement that is XBLA.

Upon taking a closer look, the man carries in his possession 2 knives, a chainsaw, 2 pistols, a shotgun, and grenades.

And yet at the end of the video he uses his fists...wtf?

The way he wields the chainsaw is what I love.

Looks like a neat side-scroller. I'm a sucker for these, so I'll be grabbing it.

Pointless overdone violence for the sake of it? It will fit right in on the Xbox then.

Cool. I think there is only one problem; it seems like this game promotes voilence with chainsaws against poeple named "Brock"
I noticed that too, then my other thought was, "Hooray! I get to play Brock Sampson from Venture Bros." Ok so his names not Brock, but it looks about the same.
