John Woo's Stranglehold - $9.99 @ Gamestop
Steel Squirrel \| 5:29 PM on 02.08.2009	20 comments

I just bought it yesterday. I haven't played it yet, but with the Edge card or whatever the hell it's called... you can pick up this game for around $8.75 - used.

You should go buy it. It is the only Max Payne-like game this generation (that I've noticed) and that is a fucking steal of a deal. Plus you get to be Chow Yun Fat and fly all over the place killing half of Hong Kong. That's worth 9 bucks to me!

I think it got a bunch of 7's across the board in reviews, so that's not too shabby for a 9 dollar game.

Anyway, just here to inform in case some of you didn't know it was on sale.

I think Shadowrun was also $9.99 and Perfect Dark Zero is $4.99. So yeah, there are some cheap ass games at Gamestop this weekend. Personally, Stranglehold was really the only one worth buying.

Yup... that's about it.

**Oh, while I'm at it... I also noticed that Mass Effect was $14.99. If you still haven't played Mass Effect, there is no reason not to buy it at that price.**

Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

It's been $9 for a few months now, i picked it up in October, and it is ridiculous fun

Steel Squirrel

Oh, I thought it had been $17.99 for a while, they said the $9.99 was for this weekend only. Either your Gamestop has way too many of them or my Gamestops around here are dirty liars.

Vlambo

could be my crazy Canadian EB games. We do everything backwards up here

Steel Squirrel

Oh... that explains everything. America's hat is always doing crazy shit.

Artemus

Yee! What a steal of a deal! Off to Gamestop now...

Such an underrated game, in my opinion.

I think it's sick that this game is actually a sequel to Woo's '92 Hong Kong film Hard Boiled! Chow Yun-Fat is awesome as Inspector "Tequila" Yuen!

Tequila time!

Danmartigan

did you sign up for the SFIV tournament so you can win a headband?

Steel Squirrel

@ Danmartigan

No I didn't sign up for it... I was thinking of going down tomorrow to the Gamestop in Folsom and signing up for whatever I can. I wonder if they will let me use my stick... haha. Even if they don't, I bet I would still win, especially in Folsom. Nothing but rich little kids there that barely know what Street Fighter is.

I would lose at the Haloes though for sure, them damn childrens and their Haloes.

@ Artemus

Fuck yeah, that is pretty cool that it is a sequel to a movie and I agree that it is underrated.

@ Juggernaut

I'm crazy for Hong Kong Action... which coincidentally is the nickname I gave your mom! ZING!

They didn't by any chance have the collector's one for the PS3, did they? I'd love to see Hard Boiled in hi-def.

Steel Squirrel

@ Pedrovay

I don't know man, I didn't look for that. I'm sure they do though, they always sell the collector's editions for the same price as the regular when they sell them used. I got the collector's edition of Prey with the big tin and everything for $7.50. Never hurts to look!

I've been eyeballing this game for a while, but I've been skeptical.

You may have just made me want to buy it. :D

Mushman

awesome game.Being a lover of all things John woo, this game was, to me, incredible.

I had it for a while, shame no one plays the online anymore, well on the PS3 version that is.

So,everyone, buy it! :)

I picked up this game during the summer for 10 Canadian dollars. I loved playing the demo because its so funny, and this game doesn't disappoint on the humour. Have you seen hard boiled or the killer? there awesome movies, go watch them.

Guagloves

This game is hilarious for $10. Really entertaining despite its flaws.

TheDreadHawk

I am going to pick it up as soon as i can.

Steel Squirrel

I don't know how long the deal lasts, you all should probably check out Gamestop's website and their weekly ad link before anyone gets excited. The ads end as soon as they start with that place sometimes... like 2 days and that's it.

Atlas

I live in Canada and I bought it for $4 over a year ago. Still have it.

Atlas

I bought it at EB Games BTW.

Steel Squirrel

You crazy canucks and your EBeeses.
