Boot Disk: Max Payne

Sometimes you just need to sit down, slide a floppy into your A: drive, and enjoy gaming retro style. We know this all too well! That's why we have a list of the best and brightest from days long gone. These are some of our favorite games of all time, and we're sure that you'll love them as much as we do, if not more. Welcome to Boot Disk, and enjoy the retro ride!

The inclusion of what is described as "bullet time" can be seen as a cliche'd, trite addition made to drum up sales. This wasn't always the case, though.

That game is Max Payne, and despite some flaws, it is a dark, bloody masterpiece that any action fan must play. It also helps that - despite being released quite some time ago - it is available through Steam. So let's take a grim look at this noir-inspired massacre of the underworld.
