Fabulous Muscles: Shank Demo

Have you tried comic book-looking platformer/manfighter Shank? It came out on Steam last week, boasting a demo and a beefy £10 pricetag. Maybe £10 sounds like a lot, but then maybe you didn't know that Shank is a game where guns, knives and your chainsaw are simply three different buttons, and protagonist Shank juggles them all like a flair bartender.

I didn't get along much with Shank when it came out on Xbox Live, but reviews were pretty mixed. As a litmus test, you can watch a video of Shank doing his thing after the jump. If you giggle continuously or start pumping your fist in the air while watching it, Shank might just be for you.

These days, you can find him talking about tabletop board games over on Shut Up And Sit Down, or doing proper grown-up journalism with the folks at People Make Games.
