Max Payne Games


Max Payne is a landmark game. It is probably the first game to include bullet time for the first time. In this game, you play as Max Payne, a cop with wife and kid who get whacked and he is off to take his revenge. Her wife’s death is part of a conspiracy involving drugs, a big corporation and city cor
ruption. You get to see some of the awesome parts of New York, its sewers, part of the subway and at least one brothel. To be fair, you also get to trash a posh mansion too. While the story is interesting and much heavier compared to its contemporaries, but the gameplay is what really sets the game apart.

The most significant feature of Max Payne is Bullet-Time, an effect that allows you to switch into slow-motion mode at will. Bullet-Time by itself is not too useful, since it runs out too quickly; the real key is Shoot-dodging, which you activate with the Right Click Button while moving with your strafe keys. It's similar to the bullet-dodging moves seen in the movie Matrix.

The effect of seeing slow motion explosions, bullets, plasters and dust flying all around Max while playing is simply awesome experience. Perhaps the best thing about Max’s gameplay is that he is just an ordinary guy, much like the various gangsters and desperados. The weapons you will get to use will be exactly the weapons your enemies will be carrying, and all of the enemies take about as much damage as you do before going down. The Latest version Max Payne III is releasing in the Year 2009, this game seems to be getting better with age.

Midtown Madness

Ranging from the action-packed arcade games to the mind-boggling puzzles, the gamers get the fun they look for. There are loads of games from the categories like action, arcade, puzzles, racing etc. that provides the much needed escape from the usual boredom of the daily life. Among all the games, the racing games are the most preferred games as they cater to the entertainment needs of all kinds of gamers, no matter of what age group they belong to. The racing games look quite appealing primarily because they include various stylish, 'high-profile' wagons which in reality are far from the reach of many of us.



Unlike many racing games, which confines the player to a race track, Midtown Madness offers an open world recreation of Chicago. Players can travel around the city via one of several modes, and can determine the weather and traffic conditions for each race. The game supports multiplayer races on the Internet. On the whole, the game received good reviews from gaming websites; reviewers generally praised the gameplay, but some criticized the graphics.

Racing options include circuit, a race against your competitors, blitz race, which puts you against the clock, checkpoint race, which challenges you to get to the checkpoints before your opponents, and cruise mode, an option to let you drive anywhere as you please. Players have a choice of up to ten vehicles, although only five are available at the start. To unlock other cars, players must achieve goals such as winning a certain number of races. Checkpoint mode allows players to set the frequency of traffic, police cars, and pedestrians.

Midtown Madness does not have a set path.
In fact, your competitors will try every trick in the book to cut corners, including jumping bridges, to finish before you. So, what you all are waiting for. Go and ask for the latest copy today.

Honda, Zangief, Guile, Dhalsim, Balrog, Vega, Sagat, and Ryu--are back and playable from the outset, and they're joined by six brand-new and various characters. The character balance is spot-on across the entire game, and as a result, players should never feel that they could not fight simply because they have chosen one feeble character over another.

Street Fighter IV features models and backgrounds rendered in 3D, the gameplay remains on a traditional 2D plane, while the camera is free to move in 3D at certain times during fights, for dramatic effect. The other new combat functions are new powered up moves called Ultra Combos. Like standard combos their purpose is to give maximum harm to an opponent.
