Max Payne Max Payne and Max Payne 2 are getting a full remake to bring the character and IP back to us all once more The rumors and speculation have been proven true with the Max Payne games getting a full remake out here now.

The Disappearance Of Single Player
by Greg Tatterfield [ Wednesday, 1st of August 2012 - 09:49 PM ]
Remember the time when you placed a new game in your game console and you could expect an epic and memorable single player experience? I am among those gamers who remember having that full-blown experience with every new game that graced my console. As an old school gamer that owned all the major systems since the 90s I see a disturbing trend that could spell trouble for fans of single player games. The problem is that single player seems to be becoming extinct. It’s no secret that online multiplayer has became exceptionally popular among the current generation of gamers. Read More...

Learning To Fly Max Payne Style
by David 'Hades' Becker [ Thursday, 5th of January 2012 - 12:11 AM ]
I swear if we were suppose to figure out what a game is all about from just the screen shots and video shared from companies we would all be way off most of the time. A good example would be the below screen shots from Max Payne 3. It looks like a good mixture of campaign as well as multiplayer mixed in here. So let me take a stab at what I'd say the game is all about based off these. First, it's all about flying around an industrial playground shooting whatever you can. Read More...

Trailer Park 11/22/11
by Matt Waitt [ Tuesday, 22nd of November 2011 - 05:37 PM ]
Since last week's installment of Trailer Park was non-existent, I believe you guys are overdue for a new set of trailers. First up we have a new trailer for EA's SSX coming out on February 14th, 2012. The trailer shows off a lot of game play footage that looks just as insane and hilarious as previous installments, Doing the "Worm" on a snowboard and twirling around like a helicopter are just a couple of the nut job tricks showcased in the trailer. If you plan on pre-ordering SSX then I have some great news for you - pre-order bonuses! If you pre-order from Origin you will get Elise's "elite" snowboard along with a "bonus" boost. Read More...

Bringing The Pain Like Max Payne 3
by David 'Hades' Becker [ Friday, 29th of April 2011 - 05:28 PM ]
So I'm confused now. Where are all the "demons" or drug induced hallucinations? For that matter Mark Wahlberg? That was what the franchise was all about wasn't it? The film wouldn't deviate that much would it? I defined the whole Max Payne franchise based on that film as I have never played any of the games before. That is a good reference isn't it? When have video game films ever been that far off from the original source? Read More...

Max Payne 3 details
by Corey Dockendorf [ Tuesday, 16th of June 2009 - 02:22 AM ]
Wow, the dark brooding hero has put on a few pounds since last we saw him! Max Payne, who is now bald and sporting a pretty fierce beard, is back and in full force and gracing the cover of Game Informer.  Not only that, the guy is addicted to pain killers. Who didn't see that one coming? Max Payne 3 takes place in Sao Paolo, Brazil, with "fully destructible environments". Which means more stuff to shoot at and blow up.  Players will also experience "day and night cycles". Read More...

Mark Wahlberg has never played Max Payne
by Sam [ Wednesday, 6th of August 2008 - 05:57 AM ]
Mark Wahlberg, the guy playing Max Payne in the up coming movie has said in a recent interview that he has never actually played Max Payne before.     "I got more responsibility now than I've ever had with the kids and everything else. I don't want to be spending 14 hours on the videogame and then eight hours on the set. It's not going to work out."   I think that if you're going to be playing a character you should at least play the game first to get a feel for the character. Read More...

Not A Payneful Looking Flick
by David 'Hades' Becker [ Thursday, 10th of July 2008 - 05:46 PM ]
Max Payne The Movie - Trailer So, I'll get this out there first. I have never played the game before. I've also never seen anyone else play it. So, I have no clue what the game was about and all the little things that could be wrong with the film. It is a Video Game film, so there is already going to be something that most people hate about it. At least fans of the game. Just thought I'd start off with that so you all knew where I was coming from before watching this trailer. Read More...
