I believe Kane and Lynch: Dead Men might have just gone from 'kinda want' to 'must have', as Eidos drops the details on the online multiplayer mode for the game, Fragile Alliance. Up to 8 players participate in various heist scenarios, fighting against the police to escape with the loot. The twist? The person who escapes with the most loot wins. It's a paranoia-inducing sort of anti-co-op. When do you make your move?

"We wanted to make a multiplayer experience using the theme, dynamics and atmosphere of Kane & Lynch: Dead Men" said Kim Krogh, Lead Game Designer, IO Interactive. "Fragile Alliance is a new way to use co-op in multiplayer. Play it like a soldier and you'll lose, play it like a criminal and you'll win".

What a bloody brilliant way to do multiplayer in a game where the two main protagonists hate each other. It makes me want to watch The Usual Suspects all over again.
