There was once a thing called Digitiser, daily computer game pages on ceefax on channel 4. Like everything in the world, they died, and were replaced by Game Central. Oh, and by the way, Game Central is awful.
Max Payne 2, 5/10. Enough said. And why did they give it 5/10? Because it is a lot like the first, that was their reason. So what if it's like the first, the first was amazing, and you can't fix what aint broke. I just hate these people, like those at Game Central, who try to sound like intelligent critics by criticising games that everyone likes. Right, see ya later.

See ya. I've stopped reading Game Central since leaving my TV behind months ago.
I feel for you, but you aren't missing much anyway. DEATH TO GAME CENTRAL!
Game Central actually has an opinion, which is nice.
It's better than many 'critics'.

Except you can tell a few companies have been paying them off a bit.
Max Payne 2 looks to me like a 2/10 game.
OOOH!!! BULLET_TIME!!!!!!
errr, yes... GUNS!!!!

I completed the first Max Payne in two nights, and wasn't overly impressed. Shan't be bothering with the second game.
After three Matrix movies and a stack of games using it, Bullet Time is old hat now.

Nah, 9/10 defiantly. It's still the only game that comes close to matching the insane, over the top but stylish action scenes from John Woo's movies, all it really lacks are a bunch of dirt bikes that explode in mid air when you shoot them.

Digitiser was far better- they had cheats, proper jokes, and actually had a sense of humour. Unlike Game Central, which is far too watered down. To be honest, I'm still unhappy about it, although news is provided, although unfunnily.
Well what about Gamezville on Sky One? That show is utter crap, the two presenters don't know anything about games and they ask people to give a game a rating out of 5 when they've only been playing it for about 15 minutes!
