    'Max Payne' movie trailer...

    http://ve3d.ign.com/videos/31425/PC/Max-Payne

    Hopefully this will salvage Mark Wahlberg's career after 'The Happening'...

    not too literal.

    if you even remotely see videogames as art as well as mindless killing then you MUST play max payne. its not even noir, its... ultra noir i suppose and the best 3rd person shooter on any console. period.

    and i really hope remedy makes max payne 3 when they finally finish alan wake.

    Trailer looks alright. Like Hells said, if you haven't played the games, YOU MUST. They are two of the most engrossing cinematic experiences I've ever had playing a game... it flows so well and really feels like you're playing a movie at most times.

    Well Xbox.com says it's backwards compatible with the 360 so I might look into it if I can spare some money.

    Movies based on videogames suck, no matter how "great" the game supposedly was. Even live-action Pac-Man.

    Saw the trailer on ActionTrip.

    Looks okay thus far.

    It won't beat the game, not a chance, and it won't be as good as the game ... but will it be as good as Silent Hill's movie? Now, that, I think, is the best videogame movie out there personally.

    I think a Max Payne movie could work, it looks fairly faithful - although the angel thing is a bit "eh?", but I'll see how it is in context, no doubt it's a dream sequence or a trip or something - so I'll see.

    It'd better be rated R though, it's such a dark game, and violent.

    Max Payne 1 and 2 are AWESOME. I'd love a third - and oh yes - GIVE ME ALAN WAKE ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Yeah, up till this point you're right. This is the reason why Rockstar has (wisely) refused to give up the rights to a Grand Theft Auto film adaptation. Hopefully sometime in the future some blessed soul will break this trend and give us a good game-to-film adaptation.

    Verbinski's Bioshock maybe? I doubt it....but there's always hope.
