The game witnessed the final days of Midway, did not launch a franchise and simply does not hold up now.

John Woo Presents Stranglehold of 2007 is such an unfortunate product. Mass Effect started a trilogy that is my favorite story ever, not unlike former Game Informer and Giantbomb staff member Dan Ryckert’s regard of Metal Gear Solid series as his. Modern Warfare as a Call of Duty branch redefined the multiplayer shooter for the next decade. Assassin’s Creed, flawed as it is, would start a series keeping Ubisoft running until now. Bioshock ushered in immersive sim for the consoles. More importantly, it was a big year for debuts in the sense of “Best Debut”, that Giantbomb Game of the Year category I miss so dearly. Here is my review of John Woo Presents Stranglehold.Ģ007 was a great year for video game. I would have loved to call them a “Good Old Double Feature”, but this first half is not appealing to me at all. I recently purchased and played two movie games from gog.com, Midway’s Stranglehold and Westwood’s Blade Runner.
