Stranglehold tightens its grip

If there was a way to deliver the latest trailer for next-gen and PC shooter Stranglehold to you by somersaulting over a table in slow motion through a flock of doves, we would, but thankfully you need only click the Movies tab above.

Showing off new areas - including a natural history museum (with scaleable dinosaur skeleton!), a Chinese food market stocked with fruit just waiting to erupt in gunfire and a rapidly disintegrating casino floor - it's not hard to see how this game carries John Woo's seal of approval.

While two-fisted gun battles, slow-mo acrobatics and destructible environments have made their way into just about every shooter these days, Stranglehold still looks able to top them all. While sliding along a railing on its back shooting all the way, of course.

Look forward to taking revenge on the Triads, and interior decoration, on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 next year.
