If there's a gamer on Earth that doesn't like cars, guns, racing, stunts, and crashes, I don't know 'em. However, I do know a game that would be right up their alley. It's called Sleeping Dogs and it races (sorry) onto store shelves in the second half of this year. Looking like a GTA/Burnout/Road Rash hybrid, Sleeping Dogs features racing, gun battles, ramming, and "action" highjacking - illustrated in the following video by a biker leaping from his motorcycles onto the top of a moving vehicle. If you looked up "awesome" in the dictionary, that's what you'd see a picture of.
