I watched Alex play and finish Sleeping Dogs, which is about an undercover cop in Hong Kong, taking down the Triads. Really, if you've played GTA you know basically what this game is about except now they've added extra features of drug busts or hunting prostitution rings. The melee fighting is definitely better with environmental kills like throwing a person's face into a chainsaw that just happens to be lying around. There's actually a trophy for beating a man to death with a fish.

Which makes you wonder what the fuck is wrong with Hong Kong. Seriously, this cop literally kills hundreds of people, blows up whole buildings, launches grenades into the streets, and countless other crimes. And this is all just to take down the leadership of one gang. There's at least one other Triad group running around Hong Kong, and god knows what he'd do to finish that one off. My question is this: If you're willing to let this guy run wild through the streets for the sake of ending crime, what the FUCK was the situation before he arrived? There's no way it was worse than this. Is it really worth it? The town is now a war zone, and he definitely lit a couple of the matches that set this bomb off.

Still, at the end of the day it was fun to watch, especially whenever Alex fucked up his driving and I could see his character get launched forty feet into the air through the front window of his car and the body bounce along the ground like a ball. And really, isn't shit like this the reason why we started playing GTA to begin with?
