Max Payne 3 is available in stores all across North American shores. This was a game that we got to play at Pax East this year and it was awesome to see what this new game brings to the table. As of today only the PlayStation 3 and XBOX 360 versions of the game are available, but that of course will change on May 18 when the PC version of the game comes out. If you are a fan of Grand Theft Auto and are looking forward for GTA V, Max Payne will be using the same game engine and should serve as a glimpse for things to come.

In the new story, Max Payne is no longer a cop. He is a little bit older and pretty much an alcoholic spending most of his days drinking his life away. While at a bar, he runs into Raul Passos, who get’s him into all of this trouble and has him going around Sao Paulo and Brazil’s famous Favelas’.

This is probably the best Max Payne game so far, so be sure to pick it up if you happen to be a fan of the series or a fan of Grand Theft Auto.

The good folks over at Sony will be bringing “20 gaming experiences” to this year’s E3. Let us cross our fingers and expect that Uncharted 4 get’s announced and of course there’s the obvious we’re going to see PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale and God of War: Ascension. It would be nice to see exclusive content from Rockstar Games like Grand Theft Auto V, but that’s another story. In our opinion Sony might be the winner out of the 3 console makers. You can see the full map of the show floor at E3 by clicking here.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 has been officially unveiled and here’s you first look at it.

Unlike past Treyarch-developed CoD games, it looks like Black Ops 2 will take place in the future in the year 2025 as mechs, quadrotor attack drones and hover jets are shown in the trailer. Additionally, there’s a glimpse of Los Angeles and horse-riding as well, and the trailer is narrated by an elderly man named Frank Woods who is presumably the main character from Black Ops 1.

Black Ops 2 will be released on Nov. 13 for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. As a person who was getting a bit jaded with the CoD series, I have to say that this trailer made me wet myself and definitely has me psyched for Black Ops 2.

That HUUUGE PlayStation 3 exclusive game that GameTrailers has been teasing about this past week is, in fact, SuperBot Entertainment’s PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, as tonight’s GTTV episode revealed.

The game, which was first rumored late last year as “Title Fight,” is a Super Smash Bros.-style fighting game featuring a cast of characters from Sony’s PlayStation games. Some of the playable fighters include Fat Princess, Kratos, Sly Cooper, Sweet Tooth, Radec (Killzone) and Parappa the Rapper.

PlayStation All-Stars will feature four-player online multiplayer, and each character will have their own unique moves (e.g., Sly can turn invisible), as well as three levels of “Super” special moves (e.g., Radec’s level three Super allows him to go into first-person shooter mode akin to Solid Snake in Super Smash Bros. Brawl). Additionally, there will be third-party characters as well.

For the game’s levels, they’ll be mash-ups from games likes God of War and Patapon as one stage features Hades and Patapons in the background, with the former able to hurt players. Another level is a LittleBigPlanet-themed stage called “Dreamscape” that actually gets built as players duke it out.

PlayStation All-Stars will be hitting the PS3 in “holiday” of this year. Check out the trailer below for official first gameplay footage of PlayStation All-Stars.

So excited!
