It's been a long time coming, but Stranglehold has finally blasted its way to the PS3. And for action Jacksons who love shooting things up there aren't many to touch this. 

Marking a first for videogames, the vision for Stranglehold comes from a world famous director. And who else to direct an action based shooter than the legendary John Woo.  

Stranglehold is actually the sequel to the much-heralded film Hard Boiled, also directed by Mr. Woo and once again brings inspector Tequila, played by Chow Yun-Fat back into action.  

The story involves a killed cop, a kidnapped family and two criminal gangs. Using his own brand of justice, Inspector Tequila must stop the gangs and save his family.  

It seems a logical step for a major director to have creative control over a video game given that games developers are taking tips from Hollywood in recent times.
