Midway locks in PS3 Stranglehold
Posted By LordAbGangster shooter based on John Woo’s Hong Kong crime drama Hard Boiled takes to the streets on October 29.
Midway announced today that Stranglehold is certifiably gold on the PlayStation 3. The game, which is the continuation of John Woo’s 1992 Hong Kong action epic Hard Boiled, will now be impacting retail shelves on October 29.
The PS3 version of Stranglehold was originally slated to follow the Xbox 360 and PC versions in September. However, earlier this month, Midway president and CEO David Zucker said that the teams developing both BlackSite: Area 51 and Stranglehold were having problems getting Epic Games’ Unreal Engine 3 to work as intended on Sony’s hardware. Epic itself seems to be in a similar boat, as Midway also revealed at that time that Unreal Tournament III wouldn’t be hitting its much-publicized 2007 release date on the PS3, though the PC version was still go for a November launch.
Stranglehold is being developed by the team behind 2004’s Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy. Woo’s gunplay-heavy film being the inspiration for the game, Stranglehold features highly destructible environments and a penchant for stylized, cinematic shooting sequences. GameSpot’s review has more on what gamers can expect from the high-octane shooter.

This is first time in my life when I don’t know what to say. After reading all comments I’m shocked. What has happened with our society, with our young generation? They are commenting terrible information, their lexis sounds terrible. Is that true, that only words they know is “cool�, “cute� and cussing words? What are they thinking of? It’s better not to think about it, it’s too sad

This blog is simply smashing. In my humble opinion of course. As this post is rather debatable I don’t think all your blog visitors are going to agree with it.
