Stranglehold PC

yes i changed the keys to custom ones i wanted to use. controls are fully customisable, can even alter the sensitivity of the mouse, vertical and horizontal is independant from one another.
 
My son finished the game in a day. Hmmm not great value considering the size of it me thinks. He keeps doing that with my games, annoying little... Dont you just hate it when your kids get better than you?
 
Awesome game. It plays well, looks good and is smooth. Although at the end of the day it is just a fast paced action shooter. It's still good though.
 
Not a bad game Max Payne meets Enter the Matrix style play.

Runs really well, it uses both cores at 100%! I've not seen a game do this, not even the Crysis demo (why is this?), anyone with the G15 keyboard will be able to confirm.

Enter " -ResX=xxxx -ResY=xxxx " into the shortcut for higher rez modes, got it off www.widescreengamingforum.com.
 
Well I downloaded the demo, I have no gfx options at all that I can see, game itself is pretty meh, run around shoot stuff, use bullet time. Only bit I really liked was the precision shot stuff.

It very much depends on the game, however if you are seeing both cores sitting at 100% this is usual a result of bad coding. Ie, the game eats up cpu cycles even if its not doing anything. I noticed this in nwn2 where the core was maxed even when minimized. Now thats a poorly coded game!
 
The game defults to 800x600 doesnt it?

Still looks ace even on that res, can you change it?

Ah nm, changed it to widescreen :)

I can say now that it runs like a dream - so I'm guessing the cores are working well and efficiently.
 
Anyone else pick this up today? Just installed mine there, seems the FPS is locked at 35 or so, just played some MP and it didn't change at all. So much fun just running around shooting everything.
 
I was playing MP and it seemed to be locked at 35, anyway just did the first mission and yea, locked at 60 with occasionally dropping down a little when tons of crap is exploding. I was meaning to update my post but was too busy shooting crap :P

So much fun, really hope they release some sort of SDK.
 
Pre-ordered mine a little while ago from a certain online retailier and they messed up :(

No stock, still no game. They've e-mailed me to say estimated despatch date is tomorrow but their website says 4-6 weeks! If it isn't dispatched tomorrow then I'll just have to cancel and order elsewhere!
 
Just finished the second level, it's complete mindless fun, perfect game when you want to blow stuff up/kill things. Only real complaints are the lack of subtitles, can be hard to understand the accent, and I would have prefered the game to have been in Cantonese with subs.
 
That's cool - that's just what I was hoping for after the demo!

Sometimes I like to play a meaningful tricky game but sometimes you just want to blow stuff up!
