Legendary action-movie director John Woo brings his talents to this revolutionary action game that puts you inside one of his blockbusters. Stranglehold piggybacks the story begun in Woo's Hard Boiled, with star Chow Yun Fat returning as Inspector Tequila. When Tequila's wife is kidnapped by Russian mobsters, he has to balance his duty to follow the law with his desperate need to rescue his wife. Woo's patented slo-mo action comes to life with the Tequila Time aim-and-fire mechanism as you move through a cinematic storyline. It's cooked up by A-list Hollywood talent using "Rock n' Roll Physics," which means everything's destructible. Seriously, does it get any better than that?
Fifteen years after we first met Sonic the Hedgehog, the blue dude races into next-generation gaming! In his first trip into the world of humans, Sonic befriends the princess Elise.

The PS3's capabilities combine light bloom and motion blur effects, delivering a feeling of speed that's dizzying, even by Sonic standards. Encounter friends and foes from the entire Sonic franchise, plus a new, powerful enemy, Sliver. The game's divided into Town Stages to explore and Action Stages to shred. Up to four friends can play as Sonic (and his friends) online.
