Staying up late for the third night in a row, I finished Max Payne 2. Though quite short, the production quality of the game was simply astounding. When the game ended and the credits started to roll, I just stared at the screen and let it all sink in.
Love and bullets.

 I picked up Max Payne 2 yesterday, at Fred Meyers of all places. I usually don't pick up games at retail as they tend to be a bit expensive. I've also been waiting for the price of this one to fall a bit as it's been a tad high for a game that's supposedly only ten or so hours long. I started playing yesterday and I'm glad I did it.
It's very much a genre piece, film noir brought to life. There are some hysterically funny moments, though, as the bad guys you fight have this comical conversations right before you leap in with guns blazing. The "gimmic" of the game is that you can slow down time, which I use often for good effect. The graphics are amazing, of course, finally making use of some of the great features of my video card. It also sports a realistic physics engine, making knocking over barrels and boxes highly entertaining.
The story, while convoluted, has captured me. Images of Mona Sax, the cold hearted and beautiful assassin, haunted me as I fell asleep. I keep wanting to make metaphors about bullets, love, and impending doom.
