‘Triad Wars’ computer game paints Hong Kong as a violent, gangster-ridden hellhole (video)

If you fancy yourself as a Hong Kong triad but don’t have the connections (or the cleavers) to make it happen, you can now live out your sick fantasy with the number-one tool for living out sick fantasies – your computer.

United Front Games has just released this gun-tooting and gory trailer to their new game Triad Wars, the followup to Sleeping Dogs.

As you make your way through the “dark heart of Hong Kong’s crime world” (is this really how the world sees us? Damn you, Kowloon Walled City/Blade Runner), you’re encouraged to extort, smuggle, manipulate and terrorise in order to reach the top of the gangster food chain.

If a roundhouse kick to the face isn’t enough to keep your boys in line, smashing their head repeatedly in a car door or drilling into their skull might just do the trick.

“Power is earned, power is taken, power is king.” Remember that when you’re sat in your pants in the dark yelling at your mum to bring you meatloaf.
