Do you miss Max Payne? For $15 (US) you can find out why the hard-boiled detective became popular in the first place with both brief but intense action titles. According to a press release, Max Payne and Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne should be available now on the Xbox Live Marketplace, joining the ranks of the Xbox Originals.
Max Payne was originally released as a PC game back in 2001, then later made its way to Xbox in December of that year. Max Payne 2 was released in 2002. Both games featured plenty of third-person shooting sequences and emphasized the use of 'bullet time,' a special mode of play that could be frequently triggered to slow down the game world, making it easier to spectacularly gun down Max's many enemies.
