Here is my True Crime: Hong Kong cover story for the EGMi, which is something I’m very proud of and excited about. It spawned from a studio visit in Vancouver in early December that also resulted in the six-page print preview found in the February 2011 issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly, which I’ll be blogging about in the near future. This coverage consists of a “hotspot” interactive preview and a lengthy transcribed interview with three of the game’s developers.
