But was Mike Carp the first choice to play Woogie?

This was a really fascinating article. I loved Sleeping Dogs, but my perspective was as a white American who'd visited Hong Kong once. I didn't realize how representative the game was of HK culture or navigating the liminal state between Chinese and American cultures. Reading this article makes me even more impressed…

If I hadn't already played the game to 100% completion on PS3, I would definitely pick this up. It is SUCH a good game. It does so many cool things that GTA should try its hand at, like exciting hand-to-hand combat, some RPG-lite elements and more fluid parkour-like movement (oh, and meaningful collectibles!).
