I can't decide how to feel about this one.  I heard about it yesterday morning and at first I was quite happy since Max Payne is a series I love, but then after thinking about it things could be worse off this time around.  First, this game is not being developed by Remedy who developed the first two in the series.  Second, the game's one press image is of Max looking rough and old, almost like Sam Fisher from Splinter Cell: Double Agent (which was my least favorite in that particular series).  Finally, they're promising to take Max where "we’ve never seen him before," and frankly I'd be happy with a game that's exactly like Max Payne 2 but with new levels, story and graphics.

Of course since there's so little to go on I can't really make a snap judgment at this point, but I guess I'm just a little wary of this announcement.  Hopefully the game turns out great, and either way I'll be playing it.  You can hit the link below to catch a bit of info if you're interested.  Let's just hope they don't try to work in any of the story elements from the movie, which I just watched last weekend for the first time (handily enough), and am not a big fan of.
