Our resident retro gaming nerd Joel recently showed us a hilarious video that just begs to be shared. It’s a clip of Max Payne from Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne. It’s actually a good idea to use the second Max Payne because Finnish writer Sami Järvi’s lookalike has this permanent constipated look that doesn’t go with the dancing.

I have found closure.
I had mixed feelings when I first finished Max Payne 2. Disappointed with the turnout of events, I was also pleased because the ending was nothing short of brilliance.
However, I never really felt that the series was finished. Aside from being mentioned in the end credits of part two, news of a Max Payne 3 was announced shortly after the sequel came out.

I’m a sucker for Max Payne.
I still remember the great lengths I went through just to get my retail copies in time (i.e. not a couple of months late). The best part? The games are indeed worth all the trouble.
Despite the rather disappointing length, I still revisit Remedy’s Noir York every couple of years to enjoy the outrageous gunplay and awesome mods. Imagine my surprise when I discovered just recently that finishing Max Payne 2 in its highest difficulty would result in a more interesting ending.
