Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne

The J Man June 20, 2012

Max Payne

The J Man June 12, 2012

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.”

Redneck Rampage

The J Man June 11, 2012

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.

Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay

The J Man May 17, 2012

Reading Time: 9 minutesIt’s the movie tie-in they say is better than the movie it’s based on. After playing, I’m inclined to believe them. Hop behind the welder’s goggles of master criminal Richard B. Riddick, and show them why there ain’t no cell can contain your hell.
