May is going to be a Payne-ful one for gamers, with Rockstar unleashing the long-awaited third game in the iconic Max Payne franchise. Also, Diablo 3 and some future Tom Clancy action.
How far Max Payne has fallen. Rockstar has taken over the Max Payne mantle from original developers Remedy, and sent the one-time hero to South America as private security. Addicted to painkillers and booze, Max is quickly thrown in the deep end when his boss’ wife is kidnapped. Featuring wild bullet-time gunfights and the same dark, gritty storyline that underlined the two previous Max Payne games, this is classic Payne painted with Rockstar’s delicate brush. If you enjoy third person shooters, this is a must.
Format: Xbox 360, PS3
