This game is very cheap, but very hard..

Grab yourself a shot glass and pull up a stool. It's Tequila Time.
Action film fanatics most assuredly will include John Woo among their favorite directors. Why, exactly? Because John Woo knows how to make great action films full of things being blown apart by dual-fisted guns. A bel... Read Full Review

One of the most under-appreciated games of all time? Or the MOST?
A game worth of gold. "Stranglehold" is a sequel to 1992's "Hard Boiled", with a returning director John Woo and a main lead Yun-Fat Chow (Just enough for fans to like an non to respect). This game may not have a harsh c... Read Full Review
