Nope, that's not the newest dance steps to whatever LMFAO song is tearing up the airwaves, it's a summary of the gameplay from the original Shank which hit the PSN way back in 2010. It might sound a bit repetitive, but when it comes so fast and furious and is wrapped around a striking aesthetic and campy story, it actually fits together pretty nicely.

Now Klei Entertainment is back, and they've brought Shank himself back with them in the upcoming Shank 2. Set to hit the PSN in just a few short weeks, Shank 2 will set you back $9.99 for a trip back to the dime-store novel world with improved controls, improved killing devices, improved enemies, improved combos and improved gorgeous art. We approve of improvement!

Is any game complete without some sort of survival mode? Not in this day and age, so Shank 2 is hopping on that wagon too by letting you take on never-ending brigades of baddies with a pal online or at home.

We'll be sure to shower you with updated impressions in an upcoming review!
