December 7, 1998PC Games magazines (Jan. 1999 issue) has a feature story on PC Noir, games that take place in a dark, gritty world in which the player doesn't play a well defined good guy. Max Payne is the lead game in this feature. The feature quotes Sam Lake, lead story designer for the game: "The setting of the game is film noir all the way through...Max Payne ain't no boy scout."
This is a very good article that also covers Kingpin, Messiah and Slave Zero. Be sure to read it. For more information on Max Payne, check out the Official Max Payne Web site at http://www.maxpayne.com today!
