A Payne-full weekend?
Written by McNandy on May 18 2012 08:32 PM
Today Rockstar released the latest iteration of their Max Payne series, seeing the troubled ex-cop take on the challenge of multiplayer as well as telling a gritty story. He seems to have scared all but the most evil, long-awaited PC game in a long time away from being released, with no other major releases that I'm aware of having taken place this week. The other game I speak of is of course Diablo III, which people have been waiting for over a decade. Thankfully, this does not appear to be another Duke Nukem Forever.

So let's keep this week's post short and sweet. I'll be playing Max Payne, trying to get used to the vaguely confusing multiplayer bullet time, and a little bit of Dark Souls for some punishment. What will you be playing this weekend? Let us know in the comments below!

I just got Counter Strike and in a week I'm going to be getting Morrowind so I'm set for quite a while.

This weekend I got Minecraft for the kids. One copy for the step-son's laptop and another for my PC so my lad could play. They loved it. At 11pm on Saturday I thought I'd see what the fuss is about. Next time I moved it was 4am.... So this last weekend I played Minecraft basically.

Nice! I need to start looking into our server again, get a few GU users in there and see what we come up with.

Mostly I make holes in the ground. That's the extent of my creativity.

It was a PC game weekend for me. I spent most of the weekend playing the beta for "The Secret World" and loving every minute of it. When not playing that I loaded up a copy of "MechWarrior 3", plugged in my Sidewinder and made some clanner mechs explode.

Been keeping my eye on Secret World. How does it play? also did you have to faff about with all the social network stuff to get into the beta as I applied a while back but never bothered with all that stuff and assume that's the reason why I didn't get in

Just got Max Payne 3. Really good so far but the aiming is somehow a little off... Will be turning aiming help off and see what happens. My gamertag is: Sepp69

I'm PS3 so won't be able to play with you unfortunately. It felt very off to me at first, but for some reason it didn't even occur to me to increase the sensitivity - did this and instantly loved it!

I will be finishing off Saboteur and then I might dust of the PS3 and give alice some love.

Wasn't really sure whether or not to put this in the article, but would anyone be interested in a GamingUnity Max Payne 3 crew?

I'd be interested, but won't be picking it up for a week or two due to lack of funds. Are you on 360 or PS3?

I think as crews will be something that will carry over into GTAV then this is a great idea. Won't be getting PS3 til end of August though but may hold fire on getting Max Payne for then instead of getting it on PC. Then again you'll have all stopped playing it by then I bet.

I'm PS3 but I think the crew statistics will be independent of console. We wouldn't be able to play together, but could have a peek at each others' performance, and get an overall GU performance.

And yeah, carrying over to GTA V is awesome for the crews... couldn't say when I'll be stopping playing though, loving it at the moment.
