Question/Answer Time!: No 8

Every week I share with you all a question which you can feel free to answer in the comments section below. I decided to start this as a way of encouraging you all to comment on posts, voice your opinions and interact with other reasons.

This week's question is:

Sleeping Dogs is an entertaining homage to martial arts cinema. What would you like to be paid homage to next in games?

Once you've thought of your answer, leave it in the comments section below, ready for me to click "approve" on. Enjoy!

October Brings A Month of DLC For Sleeping Dogs

Square Enix has announced that Sleeping Dogs will be getting a bunch of DLC throughout October. 

The game will be receiving four packs, including the SWAT Pack, Tactical Soldier Pack, Street Racer Pack and a free surprise community gift pack. Details of the games first story add-on will also be revealed at the New York Comic Con on the 14th October. Like the DLC packs, this will also launch in October too.

Square Enix revealed the details for each of the DLC packs, which I have put up below. Also, check out the trailer at the end of the post. The packs release dates and prices will be announced shortly. 

Street Racer Pack

• Brand new cars, motorbikes and a speedboat. 
• Three new street races await across the streets and waterways of Hong Kong Island.
• New car race: Kamikaze, a race around the city's Victoria Peak. 
• New motorbike race: Cross Island Enduro. 
• A Sting superbike, Dragon Helmet and Racing Jacket which provides extra protection against gun fire. 

SWAT Pack

• Twenty new and replayable cop missions, featuring a unique SWAT outfit & SWAT van.
• Patrol the streets of Hong Kong in an armoured van and respond to multiple emergency situations across the city in the SWAT pack. 
• A Super-SWAT Tactical Uniform, which will allow you to take twice as much damage. 
• 20 new missions and 4 different mission types.

Tactical Soldier Pack

• New weapon (promised as the "most destructive in the game) and armour. 
• The Assault Rifle from ‘The Funeral’ and ‘Civil Discord’ missions (with its under-barrel grenade launcher) will be readily available at each of your apartments alongside the Tactical Outfit. 

Sleeping Dogs community members will also receive the free Community Gift Pack that will give loyal fans some extra, undisclosed goodies.

Team Bondi Release Whore of the Orient Details

The first news for Team Bondi's upcoming IP Whore of the Orient was released today. 

Team Bondi released a blurb, which you can read below:

“Shanghai, 1936. Whore of the Orient. Paris of the East. The most corrupt and decadent city on the planet, where anything can be had or done for the right price. Plaything of Western powers who greedily exploit the Chinese masses. Boiling pot of Chinese nationalism, with the Kuomintang ruthlessly trying to suppress Communism and the labour movement. Home to the International Police Force, a group of Western cops hopelessly trying to keep the lid on and keep the peace.

“From the development team who brought you LA Noire and The Getaway, along with the Academy Award winning film production team of Kennedy Miller Mitchell comes a completely new and original IP being developed for next generation games consoles and PC.”

Personally, I loved LA Noire, and also love playing a cop (currently doing so in Sleeping Dogs), so I'm holding out for a good game here. More details will be released soon. In the meantime, check out the screenshot Team Bondi released along with the blurb below.

Sleeping Dogs Launch Trailer Revealed

Square Enix have revealed the launch trailer for their upcoming action game Sleeping Dogs.

Sleeping Dogs sees players taking control of undercover cop Wei Shen, who has been tasked with taking down the Hong Kong Triads. This open world game, set in the crowded Hong Kong Island, packs plenty of action, and a great story.

Check out the trailer below. Sleeping Dogs is due to be released on the 14th August for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.

Sleeping Dogs Screens

Square Enix have released a set of new images from Sleeping Dogs.


Inspired by Asian cinema, Sleeping Dogs will transport players to the streets of Hong Kong, where they can try out martial art moves, and take down enemies using undercover cop Wei Shen. Wei can also use the environment to deal blows, such as phone booths. 


Gamefreaks have uploaded the rest of the screenshots, which you can see here. 


Sleeping Dogs will be released later this year for the PC, Xbox 360 and PS3.
