23rd December 2018
Win a Copy of Max Payne on Steam!
[Advent Calendar 2018]

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's first adventure? The giveaway is targeted at both gamers who have played the series before, and those who are new but are interested. 
The Prize

The prize is a copy of the Max Payne EU version (retail price £5.99) on Steam. 

Official Synopsis for Max Payne: Max Payne is a man with nothing to lose in the violent, cold urban night. A fugitive undercover cop framed for murder and now hunted by cops and the mob. Max is a man with his back against the wall, fighting a battle he cannot hope to win. Prepare for a new breed of deep action game. Prepare for pain...
