The open world action game formerly known as True Crime: Hong Kong will finally hit stands by the 17th of August 2012 for the Xbox360, PS3 and PC. Pre-ordering the standard or the limited edition will net you bonus in-game content such as the Shaolin Showdown Mission, the Shaolin Warrior outfit (with increased striking damage), Bonus Triad XP points and a Wing Chun decoration for safehouse that grants players a temporary combat buff.

Hong Kong calling

If you end up going with the limited edition, you stand to gain further in-game content such as the George St. Pierre and the Police Protection pack. Being an MMA star, the GSP pack grants you his signature flying punch as well as exclusive in-game GSP apparel. The Police pack will bestow players with an extra mission along with some sweet in-game SWAT gear.

Nash, as he prefers being called, woke up to the wonders of gaming rather late but don't bring that up around him. It's a touchy subject. A self confessed Battlefield veteran, Nash spent a good part of 2010 on the Steam Battlefield - with Bad Company (see what we did there?). He has a zero tolerance policy towards RTS games but is currently showing an interest by picking up and moving people - who he refers to as units - in the office. Thank God he's not that enthusiastic about Angry Birds or we'd be seeing women flying all over the place. Bali... Bali, put the receptionist down now.
