Midway Games goes gold with John Woo's Stranglehold for the PS3 - Image 1Golden pistols aren't the only thing that's made out of gold in John Woo Presents Stranglehold. Midway Games has announced that the PlayStation 3 version of the game has just gone gold.

This version will finally ship to stores this coming October 29. It should be remembered that the Xbox 360 and PC versions came out just recently.

If you've played the demo of the game then you know how close it comes to the actual cinematic feel of an action-packed movie. PlayStation gamers can now experience the same hardcore shooting madness the game offers.

One can't help but ask why are there doves in just about every John Woo film ever made. There may never be an answer to that question, but you'll definitely see that and much more in this four-part Stranglehold video exclusive by Game Head.

Seeing one of the biggest action stars in Hong Kong cinema, as well as the action director-god of film working together again after 10 years just sends chills down any action movie buff's spine. The video gets into the nitty gritty details of the game and how it stands out compared to other modern shooters today. It even has an interview with Inspector Tequila (Chow Yun-Fat) himself, who seems to have enjoyed his experience in helping bring life into the game.

We don't want to give too much away, but anyone who's into John Woo or Chow Yun-Fat will definitely enjoy these videos. Tiger Hill Entertainment and Midway Games' Stranglehold is definitely on any Woo fan's shopping list when it comes out this September for the Xbox 360, PS3 and the PC. Our only other wish for this bloodfest of a game is that it'll someday come out in the big screen as well - definitely a dream come true.



Check out the entire video right after the jump!

Stranglehold means ACTION!


Let's get down to death and taxes. John Woo's Stranglehold tells the tale of Inspector Tequila, a man who's out to kill anything in the path of his justice, using his guns, his "Tequila Time" maneuvers, and his disarming personality. Don't forget his ability to act 30 years younger in an instant by sliding down the metal railing of a stairway or swinging on a chandelier, guns at the ready.

Now where's the taxes part? Well, someone has to pay for whatever brought Tequila on his one-man rampage, right? It's a good thing we didn't piss off Chow-Yun Fat's character then, because he looks a lot meaner than the IRS by far.

Keep your eyes peeled for the Inspector, and make sure you're ready to pay up with cold, hard cash when this game from Midway Games and Tiger Hill Entertainment comes out after Christmas. Meanwhile, enjoy this gameplay video.
