It's award time

[Joe Siegler]

Christmas brings a few presents for Max Payne - in the way of some new awards. The best one of the lot is the BEST SINGLE PLAYER ACTION GAME award of the year given to Max Payne by Gamespot.com! In their award (http://gamespot.com/gamespot/features/pc/bestof_2001/p3_02.html), they say....

Max Payne isn't just a mindless action game with a slow-motion novelty. The extra effort that Remedy Entertainment put into development is plainly apparent in Max Payne, and ultimately, the game was well worth the wait.

Action game of the year is a great honor, and we're glad that Gamespot.com bestowed that upon Max, Remedy, and ourselves. Thanks guys!

In other Game of the year news, Voodoo Extreme's poll of the fans for Game of the Year has ended, and Max Payne finished out on top, beating out the Xbox's Halo title for 2001 Game of the Year! Check out the poll results here (http://www.ve3d.com/poll.taf?action=archives&pollid=106)!

And to wrap up our piece on Game of the Year honors, the website Fragland voted Max their game of the year. They had three of their staff pick their 10 best games, and 2 of 3 picked Max number one (the third picked Max #3).* Then they picked they're combined #1 game of the year, and Max is their pick.

These are verry good awards ... MP almost got PC GOTY by Gamespot too but the "Doom-a-like" got the win images/icons/smile.gif I can't say there wrong , Max Payne was the best action game of the year and i would say GOTY too , although , i am an action fan so RTS and RPG's (not rocket launcers) are beyond my knownledge and could be better then Action games for all i know , but of what i PLAYED : Hands on GOTY = Max Payne , runner-ups = 1.Operation Flashpoint 2.Commandos 2 and 3.Undying

I hope DNF euh ... i KNOW DNF will get the same reward and maybe even a tad better

The awards continue to roll in for Max Payne - this time around the award is from Gamespy. The award is the "Gamer's Choice PC Action Game of the year". Here's some of what they said on their web site about Max Payne:

It almost qualified as a landslide. When it came to action gaming, GameSpy's community voted overwhelmingly in favor of the king of payne. Max Payne, that is.

It was an action movie on your PC, something everyone's been hungry for, and the voting backs it up: Max Payne is the Gamer's Choice!
