Until fairly recently in the comics, Spider-Man villain the Rhino (a.k.a. Aleksei Sytsevich) more often than teetered somewhere between being a dim-witted heavy out to make a buck or comic relief for our hero. The joke was that he was as strong as his namesake, but maybe not as smart. But around two years ago in the pages of The Amazing Spider-Man, writer Dan Slott kind of gave the character a rethink, in a move that could have been disastrous, showing us how this con who used to have this rock skin suit grafted to his body was trying to get his life together found love and happiness only to have it all come apart in his hands, and it was one of the more heartbreaking characterizations in recent memory.

[Update: In the original version of this post, I identified developers United Front as the team behind the Just Cause series. That would actually be Square Enix London Studios and has been corrected in the article.]
The True Crime series was Activision's answer to GTA: a somewhat tongue-in-cheek open world action game with a focus on melee combat, featuring real-world locations and a decent amount of above-tier voice acting (even if the gameplay itself wasn't much to write home about. For a while, the third game in the series, True Crime: Hong Kong was a thing before Activision chose to divest themselves of the franchise, handing it off to Square Enix two months later.
Well, Square has had the Just Cause collaborators at Square Enix London Studios along with United Front hammering away at the game for the last few months and it's been rechristened Sleeping Dogs.
Find out more after the break.
