Tired of shooting concrete pillars that show no ill effects? Sick of watching grenades leave room interiors all-but untouched? Frustrated by the lack or genuine firepower that developers give you in modern shooters? Sit back, put your feet up, sip a cocktail or two, and revel in the pure, undiluted destructive FUN of John Woo's Stranglehold.

Visit GamerSquad to soak up the MOST action you'll ever see in a three minute trailer. AWESOME!

While its August 28 release date may see it somewhat eclipsed amid BioShock fallout fever and the fact that Metroid Prime 3 is set to arrive that week too, Midway’s Max Payne/Dead to Rights action hybrid looks to bring one singular facet of worth to the gaming table: destructive fun.

Many of us complain that first and third-person shooters simply don’t provide enough full-on physical destruction – especially when subjecting the in-game environments to high explosives and massively powerful weaponry. EA’s woefully underrated Black went some way to delivering a game world open to destruction and player influence, but Stranglehold takes the idea to a whole new level.
