Yes, it's true, AT LAST it's done. Well that's not true, because it's not done, there's still a lot of work left, but the skeleton is on the site now, and a lot of content will be added this weekend, and during the next weeks and even more up until release. I've written more about it in the newspost on the site. Check it out, and see what you think, bear in mind that it's a bit news and content thin now (minus the Max Payne and Max Payne 2 pages).

..::PayneReactor::.. is back baby!

I can now die peacefully.

EDIT: After visiting the site, I say its bitchin, with one nitpick:

Have the Navigation Bar Be a seprerate HTML, and have the content be on separate pages. It would look better this way beacause of the way you have the Nav bar set up. Don't take me wrong though, very good site. It is going in my favorites.

EDIT: Also, in your screenshot section, there is a typographical error in the short description. You Say:

"This is because online quality screenshots have been published yet"

It should be:

"This is because online quality screenshots haven't been published yet"

Dont take these suggestions the wrong way though bixen, love the site.

Nice! Leave it exactly as it is.

I have no complaints with the template or anything images/icons/smile.gif

KillJoy: Do you mean frames? If so it really wouldn't work.. I don't even think drop-down menus work well within frames.

I was thinking more along the lines of setting up a window, below the nav bar, that acted as a separate html page. That way only the bottom part changes, and not the whole page.

This is for bandwith issues though, not to be really helpful unless your page takes forever and a second to load.

Really hard to explain so, fuggedaboutit.

Yeah you're talking about frames. It's not really going to make a whole lot of difference in terms of bandwidth.

And I'm sure bixen's site has enough of it since he hosts quite a few other sites as well.

Thanks for the comments everyone.

KillJoy: My page is template based, that is, the top part and the bottom part is never loaded twice, and the menu is a Flash file, so it's also cached. At least it loads pretty fast for me. I'm not a big frames fan either images/icons/smile.gif Gonna correct that typing error today.

Jade's comment gave me an idea for a contest, it's posted at the site now, check it out. Hope to see some cool stuff.

neat new site you got there.
been a long time waiting but in the end it pays i'd say. now i'm hoping for some nice and exclusive pieces of news.
btw, i was among the 1% and really enjoyed reading that max payne history. although i knew pretty much everything in there already i still soak up as much as possible what concerns max images/icons/smile.gif
one more little point though: you've seriously got to add the E3 1998 trailer to the article. i think that one is a must for every fan to have images/icons/smile.gif

^^ What he said images/icons/smile.gif

Jade: that's why I edited the post to say it's the Official shirt, straight from Rockstar.

TheHunted: I could link to it, but am sure most people wouldn't bother to queue up at FilePlanet for it (it's not at 3D Realms server anymore is it?)
