Oh happy days are here again! Hard to believe it’s been six years since I’ve been able to shoot at thugs in slow-motion bullet time, talking in overly dramatic sentences, taking painkillers to make the pain pain go away as I made my way through the city’s underground, taking down one unlucky bastard at a time.  And no, the movie doesn’t count because it sucked.

Max Payne 3 was announced today by Rockstar Games, as coming to the Ps3 and Xbox360 (ha…Wii sucks!) this winter.  Get ready to have a bullet-riddled Christmas!

According to ign.com:

Sam Houser, Founder of Rockstar Games, said: “We’re starting a new chapter of Max’s life with this game.” He continued: “This is Max as we’ve never seen him before, a few years older, more world-weary and cynical than ever. We experience the downward spiral of his life after the events of Max Payne 2 and witness his last chance for salvation.”

One things for sure…Max looks like hell.  But I dig the beard.
