At a recent EA event in NYC I got to go hands on with Shank 2 and it's new survival based co-op mode. While the first Shank offered a short co-op campaign, developer Klei wanted to make something that had a bit more legs and replayability.

I am a Transformer purist at heart, enjoying the original teams of Autobots and Decepticons the most.

The developer this time is Other Ocean Interactive, makers of the unfortunately buggy Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection as well as the NES-talgic platformer, Dark Void Zero.
