-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

It came out right before my Biol 330 midterm, so that would be around the ninth. This is in Canada though, I have no idea if release dates are the same everywhere.

For console releases, no, but PC releases are usually pretty much the same everywhere, I thought.
Strange.
Not that I played the first one. But I could have. And isn't that the most important thing?

I got fed up with "Max Payne" after I couldn't beat the level where you run through the burning building. Though I wouldn't mind trying out MP2 just to see the Asshole Physics.

And I always thought the "Americans are rubbish at video games and always want things to be really easy" thing was urban myth. You got fed up? With a game that can be beaten during the boring bits of 2001?
You, dear Tim, suck.

I appreciate the meta-examination of the noir and video game genres in Max Payne 2. It is brilliant, in it's way.

But isn't it just way more cool for a spook to go "The names Blonde, Dumb Blonde"? And then for the Evil Genius to then tell them all their plans?
Does anyone really think that the U.S. media would EVER really kill a story in the interest of national security when it can either sell more papers/magazines or garner higher ratings? And we wonder WHY we don't get more information from the government!
If Carter hadn't released a photo of the F-117 to "PROVE" he was a defense minded president, NOBODY in Iraq would have had a clue where those bombs were coming from in the gulf war. How much more terrifying a weapon would it have been? There's a reason the Pentagon pays $240 dollars for a hammer.
