My favorite line is "sometimes lady luck is a hooker and you're all out of cash". I wish I had the chance to use it more often.

I think you're right. I guess we all know who killed Max's wife and baby now, but I didn't see a need to abandon the storyline. If Max Payne 3 lacks elements of film noir then I will consider the franchise torpedoed.

One of my favourite quotes from Max Payne was from #2. "The illusion comes afterwards, when you ask 'Why me?' and 'What if?'. When you look back and see the branches, like a pruned bonsai tree, or forked lightning. If you had done something differently, it wouldn't be you. It would be someone else looking back, asking a different set of questions."

Uh, Simon from Castlevania can't jump very high. Careful where you place him in a level cause I'm stuck in a dungeon now.

Anyone seen any good deals on Xbox 360 Arcades or the Elite Spring bundle? Looking to convert back from PS3...

Haha thanks, but I mean the console itself. Def gonna jump on the retro games once I find a 360 to play them with.

You should go to the "Cod5." thread. Everyone there plays on XBLA, they could help you out.

1 or 2?

You mean the old pc game right? or did they make a new one

2 was disappointingly easy. 1 was great. I only got seriously stuck in one level but it took a while.

1 at the moment. I'm thoroughly enjoying it though I'm cringing at the thought of completing mission 4 (just started it), the one where you have to blow up the HQ, the map is huge and the hardest - and not surprisingly the most interesting - part about it is figuring out which way to navigate through it.

They did make Commandos 3 though it was apparently a bit more cookie cutter and only 10 missions long, though still somewhat enjoyable. Then they made a marsupialed FPS that failed terribly. There's going to be a new Commandos coming out though that goes back to the original winning formula.

I'm also going to be playing the original X-COM games too if I enjoy the Commandos series enough, they don't make games like they used to.
