Max Payne 3 was nice game to look at last year at the New York City Comic-Con, but it seemed like the game’s official release date was almost unknown until now. According to Rockstar Games, Max Payne 3 will be released on May 15, 2012 in North America and May 18, 2012 internationally; and for the PC on May 29, 2012 in North America and June 1, 2012 internationally. Here’s what Dan Houser had to say on Max Payne 3.
“Max Payne 3 brings powerful storytelling back to the action-shooter genre,” said Sam Houser, Founder of Rockstar Games. “Rockstar Studios are delivering a game that’s both incredibly cinematic and very, very intense to play.”
What made Max Payne as a series enjoyable to play was the cinematic part of it and I can tell you from seeing it first hand that it looked great. If you are a Grand Theft Auto fan you will probably want to check this one out as you wait for that game to get released.
When you first look at a game like Trine 2, what you will remember the most will be that side- scrolling nostalgia that most of us enjoyed from previous generations. Rarely do we get to see a game that looks this good and has such a fun and enjoyable gameplay.
Trine 2 is a puzzle/platform game where players get to use the skills of three characters: Amadeus the wizard, Zoya the thief, and Pontius the knight. In the single player story, these three characters are bound together as the Mystical “Trine” has made them into one common entity.
There is a great storyline, but we would prefer not to spoil it for you as it is really a good game to play. Gamers that are into wizards and fantasy based games will probably enjoy it the most. As you probably know, Trine 2 is the sequel to Trine, which came out in 2009. Both of these games are awesome, but with Trine 2 you can tell that the good people over at Frozenbyte worked hard at making it better.
Amadeus Lifting a huge Rock with his powers
The Characters & Single Player
As mentioned earlier, Trine 2 has three different characters that bring in an experience that is hard to find in gaming. The first character, Amadeus, he is the Wizard and he has the ability to move objects around and that power lets him facilitate the progress of the story. Unfortunately Amadeus does not fight and in certain situations online and offline, he is vulnerable to goblins that sometimes appear.
Zoya Doing her thing
Zoya is known as the thief, but she calls it “being an entrepreneur”. She’s really the most fun to play with as she has a bow and arrow that can be quite useful in certain situations. Zoya also has the ability to move around quickly and that lets her escape certain times a lot faster than Amadeus and Pointius.
Pontius Using his cover system
Pontius is the knight and he will remind you of Kratos from God of War 3. He defends the other two characters from goblins that attack you through the game. Pontius also can destroy certain walls and that makes him the most important of the three. In addition to all that cool stuff, Pontius can cover himself quite well.
The Multiplayer
A feature that makes this game more enjoyable is the multi-player. It was really fun to play it because you can connect to a game and start playing right away. In the online gameplay you can join other players and that makes it so that 3 people can play at the same time.
Trine 2 has a real good checkpoint system and what’s really nice about it is that if you die and spawn back you will notice that the health of the three characters comes back.
Our Criticism
This is the part in which we point out the things that we didn’t like about the game. In this case with Trine 2 it is very difficult to criticize as it was nearly perfect. If there is a mistake in the game, let us assure you that is hard to find.
In conclusion, we recommend this game as it was really enjoyable to play. When a game is this fun and has a good replay value, it deserves a 9 out of 10.
Take a look at the new trailer for the upcoming Zombie themed Yakuza game. This is completely new to the series and in one way I can appreciate Sega taking such a huge risk at making this already popular series into a zombie game. Yakuza Dead Souls is scheduled for release around March of 2012 and as some of you may know the game will be exclusive to the Playstation 3. As of now there isn’t any information on a Playstation Vita port.
