With Quantum Break, Play A Personalised Version Of An Action TV Show

The next game from the makers of Alan Wake and Max Payne was one of the few games that Microsoft showed at the Xbox One reveal. But details were scant. Now, at today’s E3 press event, Remedy Entertainment’s Sam Lake showed a bigger glimpse of the game.


Alan Wake Creator Explains Why We’re Not Getting A Sequel

Sam Lake — you bastard child of Vincent Price and Stephen King — don’t you ever change.

Watch This Guy Try Really Hard To Sell You… Mark Paynopolis

Mark Paynopolis? Mark Paynopolis. You heard right. I’ll admit, the gameplay for Mark Paynopolis seems a little… boring? Maybe?

The Best Thing In Max Payne 3 Is Messing With The Glitchy Bullet Time

I can’t tell you how many hours I’ve lost in Max Payne 3 doing exactly what YouTube user birgirpall is doing here. Poor Max. There he was, brooding and going on about not saving the girl and what is my butt doing? Trying to do ‘trick shots’ with his body.


How HEALTH Made That Amazing Max Payne 3 Soundtrack

The band HEALTH’s killer Max Payne 3 soundtrack was easily one of the best of last year, and a chunk of the reason Max Payne 3 was among my personal top games of 2012.
