I love me a janky game with a lot of great ideas that it's reaching really hard to achieve in ways that more polished games just don't. Kane & Lynch was probably a lot less interesting at its time. I've really only known it all these years as the game whose review started the saga of Jeff Gerstmann's firing from Gamespot and subsequential launch of Giant Bomb. Kane & Lynch: Dead Men has some of the worst gunplay I've ever encountered, but it's also head and shoulders above its peers in so many of the other details.
