Girls, guns and explosions rock Hong Kong

Square Enix has sent over a new batch of action-packed Sleeping Dogs screens.

Square Enix picked up the Hong Kong cinema inspired open-world action game - formerly True Crime: Hong Kong - after Activision dropped it, and officially announced it last week.

Set for release in "the second half of 2012", it's being developed by ModNation Racers studio United Front Games in conjunction with Square Enix's London studio, which also worked on the likes of Batman: Arkham Asylum and Just Cause 2.

    Couldn't agree more. The thing what will make games of this genre stand out is the content. It needs to have lots of single player things to do or it'll just be a price drop game and won't escape the shadow of GTA. GTA 4 did well because it had great single player(even though it was slightly boring) and a fun online.

    With GTA V coming out people will wait for that if this game doesn't offer much content. Only time will tell if this will be a good game but so far I like what I see.

    I just hope the driving mechanics feel more up to date than it's predecessors.
