max payne 1 and 2 are worth playing for the awesome narratives alone

I actually just got finished a couple weeks ago playing through both 1 & 2. I had never played them before, and had heard such great things about them. For the time it was a pretty unique game but you wont really find anything new or unique with them now as far as gameplay goes. I found the story in the first one pretty mediocre and cliche. I actually enjoyed the second much more.
To me it's the character of Max and his narratives that I enjoy the most and I can't wait to play the third one.

These flash deals should be a little more........."flashier"

So there you have it, IkedaTeramusa. Gotta give Max Payne a second shot if you haven't already. And for being only $3.74 for the first two in the series, you can't lose.

Decided to buy Hotline Miami at Amazon for $2.50 after watching a couple videos. Holy crap...

Dead weight. Remove the passenger seat too. ^_~

I bought Shogun 2 ad FOTS during the last sale and I'm now looking at the Total War games on sale. Could anyone recommend me a game from that list? Is any of the DLC worth it?

He speaks the truth.

1. Empire
1. Napoleon
2. Rome
3. Medieval II

Empire and Napoleon are practically identical.

I'm really pissed that Ridge Racer isn't 75% off

Alright, banks are closed and I'm left with cash, needing PayPal to make a purchase. Anyone wanna help me out with $10 PayPal and I'll pay you back tomorrow when I can deposit some money?

Senks Sbiroz!

Rome 2 is the next total war game they are releasing if you want to hold off on the first one.

Empire and Napoleon are the newest. Napoleon is considered by many to fix most of the bugs in empire.

Trying to decide if I really want Max Payne 3 or if I'm just deal-starved (haven't played the first 2 either). That $5 coupon over at Amazon is making it more enticing too...

I would wait for Rome II. Shogun 2 is IMO the best game from TW series, so if you enjoy Japanese setting, just play it more. Especially, if you've got Rise and Fall of the Samurai DLCs.

I would but I've already discussed why my PP isn't able to be used at all. Sorry :(

I know someone will help out tho.

Thinking about picking up Rage for $4.99 worth it?

all of you left out the constant need to save and load on purpose, didn't you?

but 3 is an amazing game if violence is your thing.

I haven't played it in a long time. I played it soon after it came out, actually. I will say I finished it and immediately started a second play-through--as in the credits ended and I started the new game. The story, the atmosphere, it was a great gaming experience.
