Make your own short film

With new Stranglehold compo.

Midway wants you lot to create your own short films so it can give you lovely prizes and possibly replace John Woo because he is a bit expensive.

We are helping too, so it is suddenly magnificent and unmissable. All you have to do is get creative over at massive-d and knock-up your short film by choosing audio and visual clips from hundreds of films - dotting it with lines of text if you so wish.

Each week a new competition will get under way for someone to be awarded a limited edition Stranglehold console, while runners-up will get signed copies of the game. Eventually an overall winner will be named and be jetted off to Hong Kong, where John Woo made a name for himself and created Hard Boiled, the film responsible for Stranglehold.

The event runs until mid-January and begins right now. Off you go.

Oh, Stranglehold is a great game too, if a little short. Pop over to our review to find out more
