#48 Max Payne 3 (PS3, 2012)


After a decade-long hiatus, Rockstar took over for Remedy Entertainment and subsequently took Max Payne out of the neo-noir, winter NYC and placed him into the sociopolitical, sunny So Paulo. A stark change for sure, but it turned out to be the right move by not only giving the series a refreshing change but also providing you with a vider variety of environments to test and play around with the improved gameplay.

If there was one thing the original games could have used, it was a cover system. It's a simple addition on the surface, but paired with the series' famous bullet time and sensational body physicals using the RAGE engine, you would be like me and take every opportunity you could to force the middle-aged Max to dive every which way, guns drawn.

To top it off, you still get the same (lovable) old cynical Max Payne with his biting commentary on the everything swimming in his head, and the game's final sequence is one of the best in a video game, including a perfect song choice. What more could you want?
