So Max Payne can dance

Our resident retro gaming nerd Joel recently showed us a hilarious video that just begs to be shared. It’s a clip of Max Payne from Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne. It’s actually a good idea to use the second Max Payne because Finnish writer Sami Järvi’s lookalike has this permanent constipated look […]

New Battlefield trailer takes antihero approach

There’s a new Battlefield game coming, but it’s not the kind you expect. No, you’re not part of a team of patriotic troops that sacrifice life and limb for the motherland. You’re part of Bad Company, where people love blowing stuff up. Let Pvt. Haggard tell you what it’s like:

Microsoft should be paying me for this: more Halo 3 ads

Yes, the Halo 3 onslaught continues. Here are a couple more Halo 3 ads. Thankfully, Master Chief didn’t have to fight huge lizards for these clips.
