Max Payne series undoubtedly is one of the main reasons got me into gaming. The Franchise is all about action movie gunfights, slow-mo and terrific story to complement them. Also the song of the Max Payne 2 credits "Late Goodbye" is one of my fav music of all time. The game was developed by Remedy and MP2 came like in 2003, 4 years ago! After that there was a rumor that Max Payne 3 is in development, but other than that, there is no solid info. One of the disappointments of MP2 was that a different un-likeable character the role other then previous Sam Lake. Remedy is a small Fin developer and they r hard at work creating a Max payne like game called Alan Wake for Microsoft. So it high unlikely we will have a Max Payne 3 anytime soon. Unless, since it is owned by 3D Realms, another developer is working on it, but I don't want them to mess up, so I rather wait. Also from the next Max Payne I want the original actor and writer Sam Lake to star and respire his role. Next stop, E3 Media Festival (e3 sounded better to me), and hopefully they officially announce M P 3.
