The first Mission Impossible film is not only the best of the franchise it was directed by legendary director Brian De Palma (Scarface, The Untouchables). The film still holds up to this day and has an iconic opening sequence set in Prague when their mission goes catastrophically wrong resulting in Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) having to go on the run and find out the answers why. So after seeing this awesome movie back in the day, it was fantastic to pick up a copy of Mission Impossible the game two years after seeing it in the cinema.

The game has a great soundtrack and one of the highlights is a cool sniper mission set in London, the action takes place in Waterloo station with you picking off enemies and protecting an asset who is boarding the Eurostar. The game has an amazing array of spy gadgets and weapons, you can also change outfits and complete missions in a multitude of ways. Your mission should you choose to accept is to check out this underated classic. The game does not self destruct after you complete it sadly.
Anyway I decided to jump into Terminator Resistance, which is available on Steam currently. It takes place in the post apocalypic future where Skynet rules supreme and John Connor is leading the resistance in the war against the machines. Any Terminator fan will remember the classic flashback scenes in the first and second movies which feature awesome T-800 metal endoskeletons brandishing dual laser machine guys with awesome robot tanks and jet powered drones flying overhead. This game re-creates this world perfectly and it has so much great stuff to explore for fans. You even get to make friends with a dog and call it either 'Max' or 'Wolfie'. It is a great FPS romp and is a refreshing break away from other FPS titles with such James Cameron inspired missions to enjoy.
This is three full size games in one, it's such an ambitious game and amazing that they managed to pull this off back in 1996. When I first got my hands on a Playstation in the mid 90's a lot of the games sucked, it wasnt until games like Grand Thef Auto, Resident Evil and of course Die Hard Trilogy landed a year after launch that the platform became the uber cool.
This is amazing, one of the best games I have ever played full stop. It's so great we have dedicated an entire feature to it reviewing the game and breaking down the best tips to master flying an X-Wing just like Luke Skywalker! If you have the means, but it now!
The Max Payne 2 Weapon Patch is a little tool that externalises some weapon stat values for monkeying around with, and is required for some mods. The Max Payne 2 Widescreen Fix also makes the game fully compatible with modern monitors, though some mods have effects that look weird at anything other than 4:3 ratio. If you encounter one of these, you can just edit the Widescreen Fix INI file in your Payne 2\Scripts folder and switch to a stretched HUD by changing "FixHud = 1" to a zero. The UI won't be at the right aspect ratio, but everything 3D should be.
As wild as its scenarios and as impressive as some of Kung Fu Evolution's animations are, it never quite manages to replicate the flow of the original Kung Fu mod. Moves require unintuitive combinations of buttons to be held down, and attacks are hard to aim once fully committed to. Still, the fact that this mod exists, let alone on this scale is testament to the quixotic determination of its creator. Worth a play, if only to see the outer limits of what's possible in terms of modding the game.
Two chapters of an episodic series that never got finished, but is absolutely worth playing anyway. If Kung Fu Evolution is going all-in on everything that Max Payne 2 isn't and hoping for the best, this is doubling down on everything the game does right. A bespoke near-future setting (let's just ignore that it says 2014) allows for an utterly implausible pair of sci-fi super-soldier rampages. In the first mission you're shooting your way out of a building and through an entire city's worth of militarised police (multiple choppers and tanks included), and the second mission is an assault on a heavily-guarded corporate HQ.
Despite having a very distinct feel, the core combat is nigh identical to vanilla Max Payne 2 plus a few extra weapons like a heavy machinegun and an unlimited-ammo minigun. The environment just lends itself better to Michael Bayhem, and the enemy density means that you can keep bullet time combos going for much longer than the original game. These are also beautiful maps, full of explosion-heavy setpieces, decent voice acting and lots of bespoke textures. It's just a pity that the project fizzled out in 2008, and very little has come close to matching it since.
Now, these bonus downloadable levels sounded like a great idea, to give online-enabled gamers incentive to use the service. Ubisoft used this to full effect in every major Tom Clancy game that appeared on the Xbox, from Rainbow Six 3 to Ghost Recon 2, even releasing exclusive disc-based expansions for those games only on the Xbox.
Eight years after the end of Max Payne 2, the game finds Max, still unable to get over the death of his wife and child, continuing to drown his sorrows with painkillers and booze in Hoboken, New Jersey. Approached by academy buddy Raul Passos, Max is offered a fresh start as a private security guard for the wealthy Branco family in São Paulo, Brazil. Unfortunately, he hardly gets started when a band of favela Gangbangers try to kidnap patriarch Rodrigo, before successfully capturing and ransoming the employer's young wife, requiring Max to set out to get her back. However, things get complicated fast by paramilitary extremists hostile to both sides, and what's the deal with the infamously Brutal Military Police special forces? As things go From Bad to Worse, Max has to kick his addictions, sober up, and pick up the thread before it's too late for his charge. It was heavily inspired by Man on Fire.
Max Payne 3 received quite favorable reviews from critics and fans, though it didn't sell quite as well as expected. Early reports indicated it was doing well despite being released on the same day as Diablo III, but it was later indicated that it had underperformed in brick-and-mortar sales. This doesn't account for direct-download purchases on Steam and elsewhere, though, so it can be assumed that the game has been at least a mild success if not the overwhelming one that Rockstar had hoped for.
If you play the Games on Demand version of this game, make sure to download all 3 content packs, otherwise you only can continue up to Chapter 6. Here are instructions on how to download all of the extra content packs (if you haven't already). You'll need 5gb of free space on your Xbox harddrive.
But the story doesn't end there. Behind the scenes, Sony has been working on restoring PS2 support for all PlayStation 3 consoles regardless of configuration, and we've now reached the point where you can visit the PlayStation Store and download 74 "PS2 Classics" - in truth a roster of immensely variable quality, with only a smattering of stand-out titles. Warnings are given out that the games are running under emulation and may vary from the original PS2 experience, but the real kicker is that you'll have to pay for them - even if you own the original discs. While lesser known games cost between 0.99 to 3.99, most of the titles cost 7.99 a pop.
Regardless, we delved into our PS2 game collection, dug out some titles available on the PlayStation Store and ran them on three different PlayStation 3s - our launch debugging station (which runs any PS2 game from any region under full hardware back-compat), an EU launch unit with the hardware graphics synthesizer and emulated Emotion Engine, and finally, a newer PS3 with no hardware support for the older console at all. The latter turned out not to be required at all, so it was quickly disposed of: even if you're running a launch NTSC unit with all the original PS2 hardware contained therein, the PSN downloads still run completely under software emulation.
Switching the game onto our EU launch PS3 with Emotion Engine emulation, we find a curious middle-ground between the two extremes: gameplay is mostly similar to the "full fat" PS3 experience, but there are stages where the game suffers the same frame-dropping/deinterlacing issue. It's not as noticeable as it is on the emulator, but it's still a bit of a pain nonetheless.
It's worth pointing out that of the various games we tested, this was pretty much the only instance we could find of the emulation not coming up to scratch. Elsewhere, it seems that Sony has done a hell of a good job in using software alone to recreate the full power of the PlayStation 2.
Unfortunately, our test wasn't perhaps as challenging as we might have envisaged it. Maximo vs. Army of Zin appears to run at a very low resolution in PS2 terms, which is almost certainly a contributory factor in towards the game's frame-rate being so silky smooth. It's rare that we come up against a game that does indeed feature a locked 60FPS in the precise sense of the word, but based on these performance tests on the first couple of levels, Maximo vs. Army of Zin appears to do the job quite nicely both on full hardware backwards compatibility and with the emulator.
However, from an emulation perspective it is a very significant game in that the PAL copy we downloaded from the PlayStation Store appears to out-perform the US NTSC disc version we already owned. As you'll see in the video below, in all the like-for-like sequences, the emulated game runs at a significant advantage over the boxed copy playing on actual PS2 hardware contained within our PlayStation 3 debugging station. This advantage does tend to dissipate when we move into actual gameplay however, where - to put it frankly - frame-rate is all over the place, ranging from 60FPS to 30FPS to 20FPS to 15FPS, sometimes even lower.
We simply couldn't explain why the game was producing superior results via emulation than running on actual PS2 silicon, and there was the nagging thought that we were comparing the NTSC disc copy we owned with the PAL download from the PlayStation Store. So against all reason, in an exercise of colossal effrontery to the most basic notions of common sense, we took a visit to the US site and bought the game again. 2ff7e9595c
