71 - Max Payne 2, The Fall of Max Payne
Added 2023-01-25 07:30:01 +0000 UTCThe lads dive deep into the gaping hole at the heart of Noir York City as they brave the nauseating, bullet-ridden world of Remedy’s Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne. Topics include the Matrix-ization of video games, the tenets of Sam Lake’s storytelling, and the bafflingly acclaimed legacy of the pills and simile-addicted Maximilian Payne.

After listening to this and the aw1 podcast, im getting increasingly curious about what you would think of alan wake 2, although as its partually incomplete (theres still 2 dlcs to be made for it and the NG+ update effectly gives the game a actual ending)
