Picked up a couple of new games for my OG XBOX collection. Matrix The Path of Neo and Total Overdose.

For a blast from the past, check out the sticker on the cover for Total Overdose.

Who remembers EB Games?

Credits are rolling on The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay. Easily one of the best licensed games of its time, back before licensed games were even decent. It doesn't hurt that it was developed by Starbreeze Studios, who also made The Darkness, which is a fantastic game in its own right.

I'm shocked this game isn't available on modern hardware in some way, shape or form.

Sam Lake was the face model for Max Payne in the first game.

Timothy Gibbs was the face model in Max Payne 2.

James McCaffrey was the face model in Max Payne 3, and also the voice actor for the entire series.

With the Max Payne remakes coming out, who would you like to see be the face model in the new games?

Personally, while that smirk of Sam Lake is iconic, now that I am playing Max Payne 2 again, James McCaffrey just fits the character better in my opinion.

I miss the days of not having to wait for updates, or sitting through 100gig Day 1 patches. Just put the game in and PLAY!
