Well this weekend my Christmas cold lingered on and nothing in the Steam sale had really tempted me, so I stuck my thumb into the pudding of my games backlog and pulled out a plum. Chortle! I'm so glad I got around to playing Max Payne 3, it was exactly what I felt like playing- no branching storylines and no meaningful planning beyond whose head to shoot next. Just shooting lots of heads, in sweet, graphic slo-mo.
The story kept things rolling along nicely and the narration and simulated alcoholism were nicely done, as were the graphics. Despite the special effect being basic by 2013 standards, the detail that has been put into this world is exceptional, with tons of things to smash and explode.
