You’ve missed Max Payne, haven’t you? I know I have.
There’s just something about Mr. Payne that keeps me coming back to him.

Maybe it’s the badge?
Oh. Whatever.
Max Payne 3 is set to hit this winter for PS3 and Xbox 360. Excited? Yeah, you should be. All of these screens look sick! The detail is amazing and though I wish Max would get a good shave, I still wanna lick him. [Is it bad that I want to lick a video game character? Don't judge!]

Once again, Sony has drawn anger over the PlayStation 3. This time, the group frothing at the mouth is the Church of England. The reason? Resistance: Fall of Man, the only good FPS to date that came out of Sony’s already-controversial console.
The Church of England is pissed at Sony for using the Manchester Cathedral as the setting of a mission in said shooter, and that Sony didn’t seek permission to use the cathedral in the game. The Church said it’s is considering legal action if Sony doesn’t say sorry, withdraw the game from store shelves, or modify the mission …read more
