Here is the just released Multiplayer Gameplay Part Two, the second video in Rock Star’s two-part series showcasing Max Payne 3′s Multiplayer. It looks like a lot of fun to me, and I’ll definitely be picking this up. Max Payne 3 Multiplayer incorporates the gritty storytelling and intense gunplay the Max Payne games are famous for into an epic online experience. Featuring modes like Gang Wars, where events from the single-player game are used as narrative starting points for the matches and the outcome of each fight drives the dynamically shifting storyline, plus features like Vendettas, Bursts and the ability to join Crews, see it all in action in high def and check out more from Max Payne 3 at www.rockstargames.com/maxpayne3.

Call of Duty Reveal Coming May 1st

StarDrone Extreme is a semi-recent PSN title that has been brought to the Vita with 10 additional trajectory based space levels bringing this portable title in with over 60 levels. Flying aimlessly throughout space, this action based puzzle game slings your spaceship into a world of momentum, evil monsters, spiky barriers and super fast space launching. The goal is pretty simple. You collect as many stars as you can or collect shards of a giant space gem. Playing this game, I can’t help but think of a progressive Angry Bird level only using the single red bird the whole time. Once you launch yourself into the level, there are purple objects that you can attach yourself to in order to create momentum in a certain direction. You release yourself at a specific time to send your ship flying into a specific direction to access other parts of the map or pick up items along the way. The problem is that flying nasties are waiting for you as well as spiked walls and other hazards that will quickly send your ship flying through space in a million pieces. StarDrone starts off very easy but the difficulty quickly ramps up to where it may take several tries to clear one level. Failing at a level and you will get what seems to be a choice to skip the level, however if you choose yet, it just sends you to the PSN store to purchase the Level Skipper DLC for 99 cents which is pretty lame. All in all, this game came at a good time as it is cheap weighing in at only $3.99, plus it came during a lull in Vita releases. For $3.99, you’re not really going to lose much so this is a good game to pass a few minutes on whenever you need to but it is surely not a game to keep you occupied for hours nor will it appease your eyes staring at the gorgeous OLED screen. I’ve included here a few images of the game directly from my Vita showing off some of gameplay I’ve encountered. Review Pros Cons Much easier touch screen controls, 10 Exclusive Vita levels Pretty basic, Uninspired levels, Some levels extremely hard, level skipper DLC Rating 68% *This review is based on a download offered by Beatshapers.

Modern Warfare 3 Patch 1.12 Available For PS3

If you’re eagerly awaiting the first swathe of downloadable content for Modern Warfare 3, then rejoice – rumour has it that you’re looking at no less than five maps, with one of them a rehashed version of a map from MW2. Everyone enjoys getting to know maps like the back of their hand, but it’s important to see a new environment from time to time, to keep things fresh – and to keep the really talented players on their toes at all times. There’s nothing like getting complacent, right? No prices are confirmed as yet, but given the prices of the last map packs it’s not going to be anything that breaks the bank – and it’s not like you’re playing much outside MW3 anyway, right? Even if it is a little bit of partypoker while your match loads, five maps is a lot more than some people were expecting – around 66% more, if our math is correct. As for future map packs, our guess is four or five, at the least – given that MW3 is the latest iteration in a long-running series that will stand for some time (unless they get cracking on Black Ops 2 – who could blame them). It’s going to be interesting to see what maps they’ll bring back out of the past, as going back even further (potentially all the way back to some of the earlier games, permitting for realism – i.e. not setting a MW3 map in a location only around in 1937) would be great. So what are your thoughts? Do you think all five maps should have been new? Are you okay with the price? We want to hear your thoughts, and you can have ours for free – “new maps! SCORE! JOY!” and other such verbose, enthusiastic statements.
