Hey, everyone remember that mediocre game (composite scores range from 62 to 65%) that then allegedly got someone fired because they derided it in a video game review allegedly costing the gaming news sites hundreds of thousands in advertising dollars? Yeah? Great because they’re making a sequel. Perhaps they can one up themselves and get several more people fired this time from multiple sites.

IO Interactive, part of Square Enix Europe has confirmed that Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days is coming to PlayStation 3, Xbox 360  and Windows PC in 2010.

Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days is a raw and brutal crime shooter designed to take players on an even more intense story experience, following two of gaming’s most disturbed criminals, through the gritty Shanghai underworld.

Introducing a new visual experience, Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days is inspired by documentary filmmakers and the user-generated era. Every aspect of the game has been designed to deliver a fresh perspective to the words ‘intensity’ and ‘realism’ in video games.

“Gamers are always looking for something new and that is exactly what they are going to get with Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days,” said Niels Jørgensen, general manager of IO Interactive. “A special thanks to gamers worldwide for their feedback. They are certainly in for a shock as we, with immense pride, welcome back our two dear, violent and somewhat unfortunate friends.”

Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days will be released on the EIDOS games label and will be coming in 2010.

Let’s all hope that it at least manages to outdo itself in regards to gaming experience and not in all the other stuff. I really have to give the companies props though. Taking another stab at a game that wasn’t well received by just about everyone and surrounded in such murky dealings as EIDOS pulling advertising from a site because they didn’t like what the reviewer said, well, it just takes some serious cajones. No worries, we promise we won’t fire anyone, no matter what they say about the game next year when it releases. That is if Eidos will even give us a copy for review. We allow our writers to pretty much say what they feel about a game (provided it’s not profanity ridden). I guess we just won’t be expecting any advertising from them in the near future.
