This upcoming winter we all can expect to see this lovely new game named Stranglehold to be available on retail shelves for the PS3, 360, and the PC.  Stranglehold takes place after John Woo’s moive, Hard Boiled, and is played from a 3rd person perspective as you fight and shoot your way through crime bosses and their lackies because they took your family.  Stanglehold is essentially a John Woo directed movie featuring Chow Yun-Fat and other Hollywood Talent. With fully interactive environments including be able to run up railings, swing on chandeliers, and jump onto other moving objects, this game promises to keep things interesting. Before I let you look at the rest of the pretty pictures I want to give you one more interesting fact about this game… It’s using a modified version of Unreal 3.0 engine. Enough said!

Wow! Today we got our hands on Gears of War for the Xbox 360 and it was amazing.  When you watch all the game footage you can see that the game is beautiful, but what you don’t get a good grasp for is the actual gameplay.  We walked into a little room of 2 circular tables loaded with Xbox 360’s displaying playable GOW mutiplayer and a special faceplate.  We sit down, get a brief explanation of controls and we got started.  The control scheme for GOW is very intresting, with the biggest addition to a FPS being a cover/dodge button.  You can take cover behind almost any object or wall.  With several differen weapons to use in the demo it made for an interesting experience.  We had Machine gun/chain saw, a type of gernade launcher, and a sniper rifle.  We were quite fond of running up to people and chainsawing them and sidewalk stomping them. Sidewalk stomp is when players take enough damage to be stunned and you walk up and press a certain button you stomp them into the sidewalk.  We were highly impressed by the beauty of this game and the gameplay and feel that this will beat expectations and grow to the hype of “the next Halo.”

I Pride myself on being able to do stuff… One of those things is going to E3, the other, somehow tearing myself away from the show floor to bring you information regarding games.  Here is a great look at Splinter Cell Double Agent. (Notice we didn't mention harrassing Trixie?)

This go round, as the oh so stealthy Sam Fisher, you have to infiltrate a high profile terrorist group and break it down from inside.  The challenge is being able to keep your cover by not killing too many terroists as well as not hesitating in different situations. Key features listed below:

• Double agent gameplay and branching storyline: Play both sides and decide between opposing NSA and terrorists objectives. You choose who’s priorities to support, and who’s to undermine. Your actions affect the story and gameplay, leading to shockingly different endings.
• Upgradeable weapons and gadgets:  As you progress get access to upgraded prototype gadgets and weapons, like improved night vision, based on your choices and covert skills.
• Authentic double agent tactics: Use realistic tactics, based on testimonies of actual undercover agents, to sabotage the enemies’ plans.
• Don’t blow your cover: Steal, destroy, kill, and evade the authorities. Do whatever it takes to make your mark and gain their trust.
• A world of International espionage: Go from Shanghai and Cozumel to America itself, where New York City and Los Angeles are threatened by the terrorists’ agenda of destruction.
• All-new extreme gameplay situations:  Conduct your missions underwater amidst churning ice floes, in a blinding sandstorm, or even sheathed in dust and smoke.
• Multiplayer:  The multiplayer modes are back with new innovations and exclusives for each platform. Get recruited and earn rank upgrades, and sabotage and spy for your team.
