The game will cost 800 Microsoft points ($10) on XBLA, and while no North American price has been determined for the PSN and PC versions, they'll be £7.99 in the UK, which comes out to about $12.50, so one can assume it will be in that price range.

Review: Max Payne 3 - Pill-Poppin', Shot-Slammin' Action
Posted 5/18/12 12:30 pm EST by Clint Mize in Max Payne 3, PS3, Reviews, rockstar games, Xbox 360
Max Payne is not a good guy and he’s a pretty rotten cop. He’s a pretty miserable excuse for a person, too. But if there’s one thing Max does well is kill. Well, kill and drink. And swear. We find him several years older, and looking worse for it. Max Payne is an old killer drinking away the demons of the past hoping for a quick end. Funny, that a man without a want or need to live, is often the best person for the kind of work Max gets hired to do.
It’s been over 8 years since hard boiled cop, Max Payne, has been dragged out of the bar and back into the harsh light for one more job. After such a long hiatus, is it worth another round of shots or does Max need to pay his tab before closing time at the bar?

"Metal Gear Solid HD Collection" Sneaks Onto the Vita June 12th
Posted 5/18/12 10:40 am EST by Charles Webb in News, PS Vita
The HD ports of Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty and Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater have been cooking over in the Konami labs for a little while now, with the publisher holding off on announcing an official date for the game until seemingly the last minute (three weeks out, to be exact). This is after both games were ported to the PS3 and 360 last winter, that release containing also including a port of Peace Walker, the 2010 PSP game.
The last major port from the publisher, Silent Hill HD Collection wasn't especially well-received, plagued by performance issues and bugs, so hopefully the extra time to get MGS HD onto the Vita has been put to good use.

Slate Makes a Launch Video For "Diablo III"
Posted 5/18/12 9:29 am EST by Charles Webb in Humor, News, PC, Video
In the wake of Diablo III's somewhat rocky launch, news site Slate put together the video above which they describe as "a more accurate trailer based on [their] gaming experience." Billing it as a "realistic presentation of online gamers’ experiences this week," Slate has a little fun at Activision Blizzard's expense.
Meanwhile, over at Cracked, John Cheese writes up a piece called "5 Reasons Diablo III Represents Gaming's Annoying Future," which takes the launch issues for the highly-anticipated game and extrapolates how persistent connected experiences, and aggresive copyright protections (among other things) could in some ways de-fun the future of PC gaming. Besides being funny, it's a pretty insightful read.
