Special Edition Sleeping Dogs
I don't know exactly what United Front Games and Square Enix are thinking but they must be thinking something.
First there was news about bonus content given to those who pre-order the game in US, you can get the "Police Protection Pack" by purchasing from Gamestop or the "Martial Arts Pack" when you purchase from Amazon.
Then there was news about the Limited Edition available in the UK. Anyone who pre-ordered the game in the UK would be receiving the Limited Edition at no extra charge. The Limited Edition contained the "Police Protection Pack" and the "George St-Pierre (GSP) Pack."

Sleeping Dogs Reception
As you may already know, Sleeping Dogs is an open world cop drama inspired by classic Hollywood and Asian cinema action style thrillers is set to launch August 14th.

Halo 4 - Teabagging Returns
Well its official, in an interview with Kotaku, 343 Industries have confirmed that players once again will be able to crouch in Halo 4 with the same classic animation and posture. This in turn means that players can once again perform their favorite humiliation maneuver over fallen enemies, teabagging.
This move has been a notorious part of the Halo multiplayer universe where numerous players have been irritated to the point of gamer rage. Although this time around 343 Industries are calling it "victory crouching."
When asked why they brought crouching back again they had this to say "[Yes players can victory-crouch others] if they choose
