Today's game is Max Payne 1 again. I finished it up today, surprisingly fast considering how far along i was yesterday. Tomorrow i'm going to start Alan Wake II (assuming i have the free time to pick it up by the time i get home).

I really enjoyed this game. I loved the story and the narration, along with the imagery used. On top of that the Bullet Time mechanics were so satisfying to use. I also liked the graphics, the primitive design and the dark snowy lighting feel perfect for this game. It can be a bit cruel at times with the Saves (At some points i found myself manually saving after each room), but overall i would recommend people pick it up and play, especially with how low it goes in pricing on steam. It took me 8.6 hours in total to play through the game on normal difficulty.

I still remember so many moments from this game and I haven't played it since release, such a great game!

Following the blood trail in the pitch black in particular I always remember for some reason, probably the creepy baby cries that accompanied it.

"You finished a computer game, Atticus."

The truth was a burning green crack through my brain.

Credits scrolling by, a reminder of the talent behind a just-finished journey. The feeling of triumph, slowly replaced by the creeping grayness of ordinary life.

I had finished a computer game. Funny as hell, it was the most horrible thing I could think of.

That 4th wall break caught me by surprise, but it was fun. I’m really hoping the second one does that again, or at least has a reference too it

How do you decide which game to play next? Do you have a list, or do you just decide at random?

It depends on life. Right now I’m going through some of Remedy’s games (mostly to get to Alan Wake II). Most of my picks though come from if they fit into my schedule, so if they let me save wherever or pretty periodically they’ll probably be what I go to next.

You have to try the matrix mod.
