Yeah, pretty epic, right? While there’s no solid release date nailed yet, it is due to come out some time in 2012. If you need something to tide you over (no pun intended) until then, then you can pick up the first two games here:

That man is pure evil. Fortunately, Wiebe has taken the record back from Mitchell. Now, I probably should have retitled this post as “Billy Mitchell Loses Donkey Kong Record AGAIN!!!!” but I have a feeling more people care about Wiebe winning. To those of you who are still scratching your heads about what the big deal is about Donkey Kong or Mitchell’s evil, here’s a trailer for Fistful of Quarters.

And if you want to buy the movie, you can pick it up here!

Gameplay is the name of the game (leave me alone, I can pun if I want) in New Vegas, as a slew of new features are introduced to make it unique from the previous game. First of all, you can gamble. Did you really expect a game with “Vegas” in the title to not have gambling? It also features new combat abilities, including special attacks for the first time in Fallout history. There’s also a new “Hardcore Mode” that takes out Fast Travel, slows down healing, makes ammo more scarce, and is just all around, well, hardcore. Fallout New Vegas releases next month on all major platforms!

Here’s the trailer!

And if you want the collector’s edition (like me. And of course you want to be like me!) then go here:

But if you’re not into buying games, you can wait a bit and rent it here.

Stranglehold is unusual because it is a direct sequel to Woo’s movie Hard Boiled. Both Hard Boiled and Stranglehold focus on a police inspector called Tequila (because it’s his favorite drink). Tequila is played in both the movie and in the game by Chow Yun Fat, and Tequila is basically the Asian Dirty Harry. He has complete disregard for authority. The plot is secondary to the stunning gameplay, but it basically focuses on Tequila investigating a massive crime war where his kidnapped daughter (whom he’s never met) is caught up.

The gameplay in Stranglehold will get you pumped. It does not let up, and the opportunities to strategize are few and far between. What makes the game great is the ability to interact with environments to make for some interesting ways to dispense with the bad guys. There are also some awesome power ups that, while suspending realism, will make you feel absolutely awesome.

The game does have flaws, however. The story, as previously stated, is massively lacking. Even though the focus of the game was the gameplay, a stronger story couldn’t have hurt. Another problem comes from the fact that the game moves so fast that you rarely have a moment to gather your wits. There is no such thing as playing a “perfect” round in this game because you will lose health. The game is also a bit too short. A bit more level variety would’ve massively improved it.

Under normal circumstances you could probably say that Stranglehold is a mediocre game, but too much of the John Woo charm shines through. Each level feels like you are playing a scene from a John Woo movie, and that means that the game succeeded in what it set out to do. There’s a pretty high replay value, in terms of finding new ways to beat the same levels as well as find a few hidden extras.

If you want to pick it up, you can do so here. There are two editions: regular edition and Special Edition which comes with the full Hard Boiled movie (which I think justifies the higher price).
