Max Payne Review... Retrospective? ...Analysis...? | Mirrors Are More Fun Than The Television - Video

After months of silence (caused by the, pun totally intended, Schwalbe's inner tempest), Schwalbe had finally finished his review of the original Max Payne, also known as Finnish Kojima's (Sam Lake's) first big outing, before gaining infamy for being a notorious HACK (affectionate). Review? A retrospective? An analysis? Honestly, I don't know anymore. All I know's this one unintentionally ended up being a pain in the b*tt (thanks, y o u t u b e), and entire developer populace of Remedy Entertainment owes me a pint, please and thank you.
