Debuting this week is Medal of Honor: Airborne, and as fate would have it, a couple of other war games - even some World War II themed ones like Hearts of Iron - are joining it on the shelves. Stranglehold is also hitting the market for the Xbox 360 and the PC, with the Sony PS3 version coming later this month.

Another game wriggling its way to the Nintendo DS and the Sony PSP this week is Worms: Open Warfare 2. The worms are back with their rocket launchers and grenades ready to do some serious squishy damage.

Medal of Honor: Airborne. Step into the shoes of Boyd Travers, a soldier in the 17th Airborne Division in this first person shooter game set in World War II. You can choose from a wide and authentic range of weaponry as you sent in mission from France to Germany.

One can't help but ask why are there doves in just about every John Woo film ever made. There may never be an answer to that question, but you'll definitely see that and much more in this four-part Stranglehold video exclusive by Game Head.

Seeing one of the biggest action stars in Hong Kong cinema, as well as the action director-god of film working together again after 10 years just sends chills down any action movie buff's spine. The video gets into the nitty gritty details of the game and how it stands out compared to other modern shooters today. It even has an interview with Inspector Tequila (Chow Yun-Fat) himself, who seems to have enjoyed his experience in helping bring life into the game.

We don't want to give too much away, but anyone who's into John Woo or Chow Yun-Fat will definitely enjoy these videos. Tiger Hill Entertainment and Midway Games' Stranglehold is definitely on any Woo fan's shopping list when it comes out this September for the Xbox 360, PS3 and the PC. Our only other wish for this bloodfest of a game is that it'll someday come out in the big screen as well - definitely a dream come true.

Check out the entire video right after the jump!

Let's get down to death and taxes. John Woo's Stranglehold tells the tale of Inspector Tequila, a man who's out to kill anything in the path of his justice, using his guns, his "Tequila Time" maneuvers, and his disarming personality. Don't forget his ability to act 30 years younger in an instant by sliding down the metal railing of a stairway or swinging on a chandelier, guns at the ready.

Now where's the taxes part? Well, someone has to pay for whatever brought Tequila on his one-man rampage, right? It's a good thing we didn't piss off Chow-Yun Fat's character then, because he looks a lot meaner than the IRS by far.

Keep your eyes peeled for the Inspector, and make sure you're ready to pay up with cold, hard cash when this game from Midway Games and Tiger Hill Entertainment comes out after Christmas. Meanwhile, enjoy this gameplay video.
