Well Hello There Fellow Gamers And Hivers!

Guys I found some old gem hidden away in my Steam folders!

MAX PAYNE!!!

Oh the memories I have of Max Payne! More specifically Max Payne 2 I never played one, but I remember spending hours and hours infront of my uncles computer playing and replaying that game!

Now as much as it shames me to say this I bought this game quite a few years back, must be around seven or eight or longer. Heck I think I just finished with school back in the day!

Well as they say, rather late then never right?

Also the video sizes seem to be very small, this means that I might be able to upload them to @Threespeak after all! I haven't yet but hopefully when I'm done writing this I can pop it up on threespeak and share it!

Guns In Glory For A Monster.

As always this game never disappoints! Jumping right into it I could feel that classic Max Payne feeling to the game, with the grainy and jumpy video scenes turning from grey to colour and back to grey again!

I love when games have that preview to where you are and then it takes you back three or four weeks and have you play it all through to that point! And getting to that point is where the fun is at! Does this make sense even xD?

Something Rotten In The Air.

Max Payne found himself at a penthouse on the top floor of some rich business man entertaining his family in the heart of the most poverty struck city in Brazil. What better way is there to celebrate the wealth you have then to piss on those below you?

At first Max thought this would be an easy job, more like a vacation before retirement, ey?

It really seemed like it until, until the thugs came pouring into the penthouse shooting up the whole damned place!

What Else Did They Expect From A Gang Ridden Country?

These thugs didn't come to steal anything of value but more so to steal persons of higher value!

This was a very well planned out execution, at-least the start of it was now we shall see how well they execute the escape plan!

That's the problem with being famous in this part of the world! The whole damned country knows what you look like and where you tread around! So any dumbdrop fool can be sent in to retrieve a high value target.

The spotlight was now on Max and Raul, the bodyguard with Max.

A Trail Of Blood, Sulfur And Lead.

You'd expect nothing less behind where Max Payne has walked!

The Comando Sombra cartel failed there almost perfect execution of this raid!
They sent in a lot of men but men who have never dealt with the likes of Max Payne. A ruthless and unforgiving killer who can not identify the difference between good or bad. That is what they walked into!

Chapter 2: Nothing But The Second Best.

Since the chapter overlap and have a continuous play through I thought why not add it into this episode as well, seeing that the first chapter wasn't that much on the content side.

Hardly less than a week later Max was on security detail once again and this time only for one of the brothers. The youngest brother Marcello Branco now Max didn't have a preference between which brother he wanted to protect but of all of them this was surely his least favourite.

Marcello just doesn't stop babbling!

The Shit Is About To Go Down!

A Nightclub Or Slaughterhouse.

Well at this point none of it matter at all! The nightclub has turned into a slaughterhouse!

Most of the dead are from the Comando Sombra but as they came in and trying to exit the building they left countless dead bodies behind them and that of innocent people. Then again what do gangsters feel for them, nothing right?

They were able to make it back to the helicopter and take off! That wasn't the end of that though. Fabiana was still missing and Giovanna was trying to escape from the cartel on the rooftop, with the cover Max is trying to give her.

Not The Only One Dropping The Ball!

We managed to get Giovanna out of harms way, it wasn't easy and quite a few men of the Comando Sombra's got killed in the process but this is where I saw Raul dropping the ball he mentioned me dropping earlier!

I want to say it was somewhat of a success but really it wasn't, we still needed to find Fabiana who was now a captive of the Comando Sombra's and for how long none of us knew!

Hopefully we find her before she finds her way to us, in pieces!

Remember To Keep On Gaming Like You've Only Got One Life Left!
