Haha, I forget that Sly Cooper is technically a criminal!

JeffGrubb3860d ago

All raccoon are criminals. Adorable, unruly rapscallions!

WeAreLegion3860d ago

Not a crime game, but you should play Just Cause 2. After a few days of GTA V, I just wanted to play JC2 again...

wishingW3L3860d ago

a bunch of sub-par games except for Hotline-Miami. I rather play GTA V for the rest of the year... Seriously.

coolbeans3860d ago (Edited 3860d ago )

I heard Monaco: What's Yours is Mine is pretty darn good.

WeAreLegion3860d ago

It is. It's no PayDay or PayDay 2, but it's a very fun game to LAN or play online with friends.

barefootgamer3860d ago

Monaco is definitely a fun game...if you're playing with other people. Not so much if you're by yourself.

porkChop3860d ago

What? Sleeping Dogs is amazing, that was one of the best games in recent years.

ShutUpDonny3860d ago

Agreed. Sleeping Dogs is one of my favorite games of all time. And, honestly, I think that the combat mechanics was way better than GTA5! It was like the best things from GTA with the combat from Batman and one of the greatest video game story ever.

WeAreLegion3860d ago

All of these are fantastic games.

karl3860d ago

what about mafia?

u cant forget that one.

barefootgamer3860d ago

Mafia is a good series, but the list is for more recent games.

It's A Crime That There's No Sleeping Dogs 2 Yet

Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."

LG_Fox_Brazil4d ago

I agree, I consider the first one a cult classic already

isarai4d ago

You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is

That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.

solideagle3d ago

Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion

Abnor_Mal3d ago

Doesn’t Microsoft own the IP now since they acquired Activision?

DaReapa3d ago

No. Square Enix owns the IP.

Abnor_Mal3d ago

Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*

*As per Wikipedia

Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.
