Kane and Lynch may look like buddies, but they would also jump at each other in a heartbeat. That's what IO Interactive wants to make you think - in Kane & Lynch: Dead Men (Xbox 360, PS3, PC), partners in crime are not partners for long. Or at least, when playing the game's online multiplayer mode called "Fragile Alliance," you have to understand that a criminal's life is dog-eat-dog.

Lead game designer Kim Krogh told IGN in an interview that Fragile Alliance is more "about manipulative game play, where co-operative or competitive gaming is a means to an ends." According to him, it's survival of the fittest and only those who play like a criminal will survive.

Krogh further described Fragile Alliance as "a mode that puts you into violent criminal situations and rewards the double cross, like befriending someone… and then killing him." He called it satisfying when you can be as ruthless as possible, and we couldn't agree more.

If anything, it seems like Kane & Lynch's multiplayer mode is far from co-op, yet you have to work with others to succeed. Krogh explained:

Everyone knows going in that working together is the only way to get the job done. But only up to a point. Think like a criminal. They don't trust anyone. So the better players will find a way to take advantage of other players and situations. The more seamless the better. For example your headset and what you say is part of your arsenal.

With that said, Fragile Alliance promises online play to be more personal. It's not about joining a party and completing quests anymore; it's more of using others, then betraying them while watching your own back. Mind games become important, and we expect role-playing to some degree. Guys who get excited after hearing a girl's voice would have to put some extra care, especially when Kane & Lynch: Dead Men ships this November 23.

Headplay is probably every couch potato's dream. Imagine a TV. Now imagine being able to take it anywhere and everywhere you go (except perhaps in the shower), and being able to watch movies or play games on it anytime you want. That's the concept for the new "Personal Cinema System" device, Headplay.

Headplay is a head-mounted device; basically, a TV you wear on your head. You can connect it to your gaming consoles, your DVD Player, your iPod, your PC, and maybe your Betamax player if it hasn't choked on dust yet. If it has a video out function, Headplay can most probably display it. You can also plug in a memory stick and Headplay can run the media files - movies, videos, and images - with its own built-in player.

Once you're behind the lenses of Headplay it's pretty easy to just relax and go dead to the world around you. It's nothing but you and the screen, with the stereo sounds blocking off everything else. It's like your own movie screen inside your living room.
