Two years and three Electronic Entertainment Expos ago, Midway announced Stranglehold, a pseudo-sequel to the 1992 action film Hard-Boiled made in cooperation with the film's director John Woo and star Chow Yun-Fat. Previously set to be on shelves by "fall or holiday" of 2006, Midway pushed the title back to the first quarter of 2007. Having missed that release window, Midway said it would have the game out by August.
The long wait appears to be nearing an end, as a Midway representative today nailed down exact release dates for GameSpot. The Xbox 360 and PC editions of Stranglehold will apparently keep to Midway's most recently stated timeframe, arriving August 27. However, the PlayStation 3 version of the game is now set for September 17.
GF365: "Here are our picks for the ten most underrated third-person shooters that you might not have played before or even known about."
Actually great list TBH I agree with all 10
I hope one day we get some remakes for the following
The saboteur(with a proper remake and quality of life features this game could be great)
Scarface world is yours
Binary domain ( such a great game with great story)
GUN(this needs a remake)
Space marine 40k(such fun time)
Would also like to suggest adding the mercenary series even the 2nd game which is disliked by many is a fun time
I recently finished Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine and found it to be very enjoyable.
The game respected the lore and the gameplay was quite decent.
The color palette was a bit underwhelming (backdrops and setting) and recycled but I think that it deserved better.
Here's hoping for an amazing sequel
GF365: "These are the best games based on movies. Every entry on this list will be a great video game adaptation of popular movies."
Alien isolation...ftw,it is definitely one of my top games,I played it again a few months ago ✌️
Stranglehold, a thrilling action game co-created by the famous Chinese director John Woo, returns to digital distribution on PC today. After years of being lost and unavailable, the game comes back to life thanks to the efforts of GOG.COM and the title’s publisher.
True that...Good thing that I still got the whole "Max Payne" series in my game collection.
Hmm, the thought of playing this through HDMI on my 4K TV through my rig sounds worth another playthrough of this gem. Especially at $10.
I don't have a 4K tv or monitor I'm afraid :S But I'm going to pick up the game anyways ;)
Dammit, thats a big delay for PS3 version and the remastered HD version of Hard Boiled I cant wait for.
damn what the hell? as if their is enough huge games set for release in September...360 version for me so I can play through this before Halo, UT and GTA
dammit! those idiots! an August 6th release date, like they previously said, would have been PERFECT its about three weeks away from all the big ones like MoH: Airborne, Bioshock, and blacksite. DAMMIT NOW WE HAVE TO WAIT ANOTHER MONTH.
Damn! I was hoping it would be the begining of August. I'll get this and Bioshock, while I wait for Halo 3.
