People are saying this is the last deal of this run... I thought it was supposed go run for 7 days (a week)?

I really hope Gears 1 is in the mix if there is more days (Supposively a Week)

If you are concerned with story yes but if not its not a big deal

I liked the game on the Xbox and I'm thinking about getting this but not sure since I don't know if I'll get around to playing it.

That's what we all thought logically that it would run a week, however that is not the case... today is it. It is confirmed on their twitter http://twitter.com/#!/GFWL/status/12193427982647297 facebook and website... so wait until the week before and/or after Christmas.. I'm sure some deal will come then!

Exactly how I feel. I think I may buy it just for nostalgia's sake.

Mr. pROvIs is right, but, if I may jump in, I think the story is somewhat important.

It's true, the game does emphasize its gameplay mechanics, but both games in the series were designed to tell a story too. (The second game is quite referential to the first. Max Payne fans know Captain Baseball Bat Boy well.)

I recommend playing through the original first, and, for a dollar, you could at least stockpile the second. (The first isn't going to be expensive anyway, since it's about 10 years old.)

Indeed, you won't go wrong for a dollar; Max Payne was a good series for its time.

Picked up AoE 3 for 10 points and all 6 of the deals the past 6 days. Most of it was free for me since I got 400 MS points from Bing rewards. Pretty nice to get 7 games basically free...

thanks. I'll buy the second now and see if I can find the first for cheap.

How do you control the game?

I already got Max Payne 2 when I bought the Rockstar pack a while ago on Steam.
Still haven't even played it yet.

Last day of these deals was a bit disappointing. IMO.

Same here. Both emails had the same order number for the same gamertag. I doubt we'll be charged twice. But with MS you never know.

Well, I've bought:
Bioshock-$1.99
AOE III-$.10
Deus Ex-$.99
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. SOC-$.99
Max Payne 2-$.99

Not a bad haul at all, IMO. Now MS, let's see what you do right before Christmas.

Sale is over now. Shame, I was hoping they would go insane and put Halo 2 or Gears of War on sale for a buck.

I'm really surprised that either Halo isn't on the GFW Marketplace. I'm almost done with Halo: CE that I purchased during the XBLA Black Friday sale and wanted a good deal on Halo 2 for the PC. Maybe they'll put them up (on sale) closer to the holidays. Since it wasn't there, I picked it up during the Amazon B1G1 50% sale.

i was really digging deals from GFWM - hopefully they'll run more

Agreed. I was actually building a PC collection of games which was starting to look half respectable! Too bad i missed Max Payne though i'm not sure i would have ever played it.
