(Side Note: It’s interesting that Max Payne’s bullet time effect is an homage to the Asian gangster movies that Sleeping Dogs uses as a stylistic bedrock. Sleeping Dogs’ cover versions tend to be about half as good as the originals, but at least its designers had good taste. Everything else can be found somewhere in the GTA playbook. Its gravity-defying foot chases borrow heavily from Mirror’s Edge, its beat-up-everyone melee combat reeks heavily of the newer Batman games, and its slow-motion gunplay is straight out of Max Payne. There’s very little about Sleeping Dogs’ action that isn’t cribbed directly from another game. The range of crimes available to Wei Shan is surprisingly wide, however: Within just a few hours of play I’d found myself participating in acts as diverse as cockfighting and insurance fraud.
For a man so divided, Wei Shan’s day-to-day life is surprisingly simple, consisting entirely of driving around a fictionalized version of Hong Kong and committing crimes. Like every undercover cop ever profiled in a work of fiction, Wei Shan grows attached to the people he’s trying to prosecute, and eventually feels torn between the badge and staying true to the game. Sleeping Dogs tells the story of Wei Shan, an undercover cop trying to bring down the Sun On Yee, an organized crime syndicate. Sleeping Dogs capably fills that void, albeit without much gusto or practically any of the soul exhibited in the games or films that inspired it. In 2015, Stone and Garfield split up.By now, it’s a pretty straightforward formula: Take a famous location, find a few violent movies that were set there, and use the resulting aesthetic as the basis for an “open-world action game.” (A term invented because it would be untoward to use the phrase “ Grand Theft Auto 3 clone” in a press release.) As unlikely as it sounds, until now there had yet to be an “open-world action game” with a Hong Kong/early-John Woo motif. In 2011, Stone began her relationship with Andrew Garfield. In 2012, she won the People's Choice Award for "Favorite Movie Actress". She was nominated for the Orange Rising Star Award in 2011. Stone won a Young Hollywood Award in 2008 for Exciting New Face in Superbad and was nominated in 2009 by the Detroit Film Critics Society for Best Ensemble in Zombieland and nominated again in 2010 for the Teen Choice Award's Choice Movie Actress: Comedy for Zombieland.
She was ranked #1 on Saturday Night Magazine's Top 20 Rising Stars Under 30. She attended Xavier College Preparatory which is an all-girls school and stayed there for one semester and moved to Los Angeles at fifteen years old. Her first movie was the 2007 teen comedy Superbad. Emily Jean "Emma" Stone (born Novemin Scottsdale, Arizona) is an American actress.
