    Okay, maybe it just seems like I'm trying to sell Max Payne 3 to you guys at this point, but... dammit, this reminded of this article I read on how the gruesomeness and grotesqueness of violence is being portrayed in games, notably Max Payne 3. Here, you really should read this if you liked this: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/columns/firstperson/9844-The-Exhausting-Violence-of-Max-Payne-3# You're welcome. And very good job, Ryan. Engrossing read.

    Thanks! Max Payne 3 was TOTALLY exhausting in the way it was (purposely) hyper violent. I've never seen heads explode so completely. It was one of those few games where taking people out often made me cringe.

    I agree about most on rails sections and forced turret combat sections. I also do hate the lack of progress/evolution in the fps genre although I think Far Cry 3 is hands down the fps of the year.

    Pretty much nailed everything with this one. I can't think of anything else this article missed. These things really do define shooters as we know them, for better or for worse. I do admit I quite enjoy turret sequences but ONLY when you are completely invincible, because, y'know, getting shot to kingdom come kind of spoils the moment. And admittedly, I don't know many games that grant you immunity whilst on the turret, despite being able to magic an unlimited number of bullets. I usually still die. A lot. Also the lone wolf one sometimes actually slightly spoils the believability of a game for me. Something like Uncharted especially. If you seriously think about every single occasion where Drake has had a chance to die, then statistically, he should probably be long dead by now. We only reach the end because we get to retry those awful rope swinging bits.

    Ain't that the truth? Yeah,not much games got the immunity part,but there's one game that although in a turret sequence, it can be an annoying sequence as hell (if ain't playing with good) : Black Hawk Down
