For up-to-date announcements make sure to follow TheSuddenStop, ComunidadRemedy, MaxPayneFanpage, PayneReactor or MaxPayne_UK on Twitter.]
This competition has now ended and our winner has been selected and contacted. Congratulations to Leon! If you didn't win this time, we'll be having more competitions and giveaways very shortly. Thank you to everyone who entered the competition and to those shared the post.
Released in 2001, Max Payne was Remedy's first AAA title. Prior to the project, the developers had only released one other game, a top down racer called Death Rally. This new game was much bigger and more ambitious for the team. Influenced by Hong Kong action movies, film noir and graphic novels as well as Norse mythology, on launch Max Payne became an icon in the games industry and even won a BAFTA for it's Bullet-Time mechanic.
So, why not a giveaway for those fans who want to relive the Max Payne adventures? The giveaway is targeted at both gamers who have played the series before, and those who are new but are interested. We've also included Remedy's sequel, Max Payne 2, in the giveaway.
