Max Payne 3 was awesome. Great story and good action!
Max Payne 3 was a disappointment compared to MP1 and MP2. Yes the graphics where outstanding but it was missing the dark, evil aspect which made the previous Max Payne games legends in my book. I got it on Steam a week after it came out for $30, and I just lost all interest in it within a month. But its just me :X
The hitman series (excluding hitman absolution) and far cry (excluding far cry 3) series are all top notch.
I enjoyed beating the Original Hitman 47 on PC back in 2001, on an old ass computer which I have no idea how it managed to run the game lol. Most kids of the new generation don't know the history behind Agent 47 and that he is a Clone made up from the genes of some of the top assassins in the world, but no spoilers in case you guys haven't played the First Hitman.
As for Hitman Absolution, I find it quiet enjoyable, the story is very good, the graphics are definitely looking great even though the new game play experience has changed in some ways, in my opinion it has managed to pull of a good ambiance all through out the game, putting it in a different scale of its own, compared to the older Hitman games, but yet in the end it is still quiet an enjoyable experience to play as Agent 47 yet again. As I usually feel, there is no point on paying full retail value for 90% of the games now a days, so either wait for it to get on sale or do what I did and buy a Steam Code on eBay for $55 which included Hitman Absolution (Steam) Sleeping Dogs (Steam) And Far Cry 3 PreOrder (Ubiplay)
I paid $55 for mine last week

I loved playing Far Cry 1, Far Cry 2 not so much. Far Cry 3 is going to be an amazing story, amazing graphics, and amazing scenery with Huge maps. I'm really looking forward to it, and I'm counting down the days for it to finally be released.
On the same note (Gaming) I bought my first COD game ever when Black Ops 2 came out on Steam. The games multiplayer is freaking fun, I mean is just great, maybe cause I have never really played COD before so it doesn't feel like any other game I played before. I love the killstreak and the cartoonish, slick looking graphics for the Multiplayer and Zombies. Hands down is a very fun game to play, simple yet entertaining. However as for the Single Player Black Ops 2, it was a horrific surprise which left me with such a bad taste in my mouth within my first hour of playing, that I will not be returning to it anymore. The single player for Black Ops 2 In My Opinion is horrible, cookie cutter, copy and paste type of deal and the animations are horrible, at least to me they are when comparing it to other modern recent games. The cut scenes just look bad. I'm not saying the story might not be great but just the whole visual aspect for the Single Player game play made me feel unatracted to keep playing and see what happens next.
Truth be told I'm still happy with this game despite that this is one of those games I did pay full retail value on Steam. I wouldn't buy it for the Story at all though only for the Multiplayer experience.
For a good Single Player story, Campaign, I would recommend Battlefield 3 or even Medal of Honor Warfighter.
But For a Fun military FPS Multiplayer defenitly BF3 or BO2.
