Delayed so they can put a female lead in?

The delay is to add a new character called Wesley, driven into the streets after going criminally insane from having to write news articles at all hours of the day and night.

When it does get released and EG review it, can I guess at this early stage that the headline will be,' Hong Kong Phooey'.

Lets be honest there are some top games coming out from August onwards, so anything that isnt either a big title or big quality will suffer. The only problem is that I can forsee many games releasing in the first 3 months of next year and so something is going to suffer for that.

If they get the feel of Hong Kong right this could be awesome, Running around Kowloon and Soho having gunfghts would be excellent if they pull it off. Infernal Affairs crossed with John Woo pls!

Releasing it the same time Yakuza 4 gets released in the West. Good luck with that.

I'm sick of these sandbox crime games. Why can't anyone tell me where to get my online math games for kids? Or better still the ignored genre that is Place value games?
