Max Payne
Reading Time: 9 minutesPlayed the new Max Payne 3? I have! And it encouraged me to go back and play the original, which I have now written about for you while it’s still somewhat relevant. I am told this is called “brand synergy.”

Reading Time: 9 minutesThe last of the major Build-powered games calls on the power of General Lee to stem the tide of true 3D engines. It doesn’t quite work out, but it’s still a reasonably fun attempt.
