Finished Max Payne 2 The Fall of Max Payne early in the morning :D

I started the MP series back in 2012 for the first time with Max Payne and although I got my dog kicked a lot in the game - I still enjoyed it. Fastforward three years later and here I am with Max Payne 2.

Once again I felt like I was playing "Max Payne Death Simulator" specifically near the end of the game right before the ending segment but I still enjoyed the game lol. (Thank God for Save states!)

I love crime stories in video games which is why I was drawn to this title. I remember when first seeing this title years ago - didnt expect me to play it considering I was a Nintendo only gamer back then (good thing I'm not anymore!).

Hoping to play Max Payne 3 again in the future - though not in 3 years - hopefully sooner ;p
