Stranglehold: Collector’s Edition – PS3 owners get Hard Boiled
Most action fans are probably waiting for the upcoming title Stranglehold, but Midway Games just gave PS3 owners a little something to get more excited about. For an added amount of US$ 10, gamers can get a PS3 collector’s edition version of the title with a huge bonus: the 1992 movie Hard Boiled in Blu-ray.
Since Stranglehold is supposed to be a sequel to the movie, it will have the same star in the same role. Chow Yun-Fat plays a Hong Kong detective named Inspector Tequila, and he’s down for taking out some gunrunners. Only a few scenes will be similar like the tea house shootout, but both versions will be action-packed. With the same actor starring in the movie and doing motion-captures in-game, expect gun slinging kung fu action to be in both titles.
The release of Stranglehold:Collector’s Edition will be listed in history as the first to have both game and a full length movie in a single blu-ray disc. There’s nothing announced yet about the PC and Xbox 360 versions getting their own special editions, but keep your fingers crossed. The game is set for an August release, so keep those guns in their holsters for now.
