Midway Games unveiled a multi-million dollar campaign for the highly award-winning Stranglehold release in North America for the Xbox 360 today. The PC and PlayStation 3 versions are scheduled to follow 9/18 and 9/25, respectively. Stranglehold’s campaign is anchored by the Fox Interactive Media campaign which includes the True to John Woo Short Film Contest and the collector’s edition on the PlayStation 3 that features the game and a full-length version of John Woo’s action film "Hard Boiled" together on a PlayStation 3 Blu-Ray disc.

The Stranglehold campaign includes:
