Release Date and Pre-Order Bonuses Announced for Sleeping Dogs

United Front Games' Sleeping Dogs increasingly sounds like something I need to get my hands on. That'll have to wait a few more months, unfortunately -- Square Enix has announced an August 14 release date in North America for PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3. Wasting no time whatsoever, the publisher is also talking up the pre-order incentives for Sleeping Dogs. Amazon has the "Martial Arts" Pack, Best Buy is giving out the "Georges St. Pierre" Pack, and your friendly neighborhood GameStop is offering the "Police Protection" Pack. (Jordan Devore)

The scope is staggering and I can't wait to see what skilled users wind up creating with it. I'm sure they're gearing up right now for next week's release. (Conrad Zimmerman)
