    Default Stranglehold

    1st time I've played the 360 since I've had my ps3 but I wanted to check out Stranglehold and I have to say I loved it! Really cool demo!

    I'm downloading the Bioshock demo now!!! Excited!

    I don't care much for BioShock; it looks pretty but that's about it.

    Stranglehold, however, is made of 50% video game and 50% awesomeness.

    I'm still playing the demo over and over just to see the different animations you get when you use 'precision aim' to hit people in the knee caps and balls.

    1 shitty thing tho is when u precision aim on the head, they hold their head b4 they die =/ Now I'm not an expert on being shot in the head, but I'd assume they'd just drop dead yes?

    Oh and I really enjoyed the Bioshock demo

    Jamie arnet you banned from Xbox live ? heh heh

    I enjoyed the demo of Stranglehold, loved the Precision Aim thing but would have liked the deaths from these to be really gory cinematics, like it shows the bullet ripping through the flesh into the face for instance and breaking out of the skull on the other side leaving blood and gore all over the fuckin shop, or a bullet to blow off one of the enemys hands or fingers etc instead they just hold their chops as if they have only been punched in them with a little bit of blood....I would expect much more to be honest.

    Agree that some of the precision aim shots are not as good as they good be, but they are almst as good as they could be and still get away withy it given the current censorship climate.

    I think that's why they grab their faces too, to cover the fact that they don't actually have huge holes (unfortunately). For huge holes in the face see using a shotgun and aiming high in Manhunt 1.
