Replay – Stranglehold
In the years between Max Payne 2 and Max Payne 3, there was only one detective willing to take up the slow-motion diving through the air while firing guns cause, and his name was Inspector Tequila.
Stranglehold is a sequel-of-sorts to John Woo's 1992 action film, Hard Boiled. In it, you play as the film's protagonist, Inspector Tequila (played by Chow Yun-Fat), as he gets into more gun-related mischief while putting doves in danger. It's a pretty insane game and one that Leo Vader is happy to share his appreciation for with me and Andrew Reiner, who inexplicably finds himself in the booth doing Leo's job.
Every week, Game Informer editors enter the vault and dust off games from every genre and platform imaginable. Watch Replay to relive fond (and not so fond) memories from gaming’s past.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
