The story of Klei Entertainment's stylish side-scrolling action game Shank is being written by Marianne Krawczyk--a video game veteran who wrote God of War, God of War II, God of War: Chains of Olypmus and God of War III--the developer announced today.
"Krawczyk is lending her expertise in crafting rich, well-developed characters for Shank's tale of revenge," read the press release, with
