Other games that use Bink 1.8s include Painkiller: Overdose and Ratatouille.

I cannot find the Bink 1.8s SDK anywhere but I found some stuff for other versions, 1.8r (2006-10-04) being the closest match. It seems that not much changed for the PC version of the library between 1.8r and 1.8s, we can probably use the 1.8r SDK with the 1.8s DLL to get a good enough approximation. Also vogonsorg/radgametools contains a ton of binkw32.dlls.
