Guy plus two guns news now, with
Gamespot conveying the long-awaited release date for Midway's bullet-time bonanza,
Stranglehold. The destructive action title, labeled as the interactive sequel to John Woo's classic Hong Kong film,
Hard Boiled, starts its commercial shootout on Xbox 360 and PC on August 27th. Slow-mo effects seem to be a little more pronounced in the PlayStation 3 version, however, as it's scheduled to arrive three weeks later on September 17th.
One might speculate that
Stranglehold is yet another title to be sucked into the increasingly epic
Unreal situation, though a three-week delay is certainly preferable to
indefinite postponement (and
help is on the way!). PS3 owners can take solace in the fact that an
HD version of
Hard Boiled awaits them on that special edition Blu-ray disc -- well, except for the ones that actually had to click on that IMDB link.
