The sun is burning hot, I'm off to my girlfriend's place tonight and...I just bought Max Payne for the PC.
Reading it (curse being stuck at work) and looking at reviews on the web.
90-95% is the average, and it looks stunning.
MASSIVE spec needed to play:
Min 450mz, 96MB ram, 16mb Graphics card is the minimum spec to play this beast.
Features?
Bullet-time: Use to avoid enemy bullets.
Auto-difficulty adjust: The game monitors your performance in game, if you're getting hammered, it lightens the load, if you're breezing through, it makes it tougher for you.
This game will rock.
Full review tomorrow night when I am back from my lady's place and I get time to have a proper go.
life is good today.

Yeah, but he didnt say very much about it.

Absolutely.
Max Payne (according to most reviews of it) raises the standard for PC action gaming, and this is the 1st time I've seen a game that requires this much power to run it.
If this is the future, I like it.
(wow, no console wars or saying someone cheated! The Future of The Fog as well)
The only frustrating thing?
I get home, install and have a go for about 30 mins then off to see ma woman.
Hmmm..video games/sex...video games/sex...

I know.
The only hard bit on an otherwise glorious day.
Mind you, over there tonight, back here tomorrow to play shiny new future of PC gaming game.
Excellent.

This is from PC Gamer website:
The prime example are its special effects, making the recent Devil Inside’s camera experimentation seem pedestrian. After a stylish kill, expect the game to freeze and swiftly rotate using a Matrix bullet-cam to reveal the full beauty of the graphics. If you try sniping, you can ride the bullet to the target in a silver-screen chic manner. Slow-down is used to both dramatise moments and allow easier aiming while diving (see ‘...Dog Or A Man’).
But what these expositions best showcase is the MAX-FX engine’s competitor-embarrassing level of detail. You can freeze the game after a shot to observe individual bullets. Equally, a shotgun’s spray of pellets can be examined, with each deadly ball’s path being traced to its eventual target. And – c’mon people – just look at the faces. But it’s not just the details at which the engine excels. It’s equally comfortable at realising cloud-kissing skyscrapers. When demonstrated to us, an edifice of at least fifty stories was displayed at realistic scale, with each floor lovingly detailed. Those with vertigo need not apply.
Now, you tell me this isn't the future of games?
I'm so playing this all weekend.
Except for when I play music with my boys.
