Trailer and Trophies emerge With the Chinese New Year on February 10, is it time for anotherSleeping Dogsadd-on? That would make sense, anyway. A short YouTube video and Trophy list forYear of the Snake, an unannounced downloadable content pack, have made the rounds today. One of the Trophies references cultists which, I assume, would have to be the unusual fellows with the costumes there at the end of the video.

GDC 10: Kid Adventures: Sky Captain, drinking game king

First off, outside of drinking,Kid Adventures: Sky Captainis a very pleasant Wii game to play. Imagine a motion-enabled casual flight/exploration game that gives you a warm and fuzzyPilotwingsfeeling, with cute graphics and very tight control. That’s what this $20 flying fantasy is.
