It's Max Payne: The Fall Of Max Payne, and he can't get up.

The first one was was a blast to play but, it was a little short.

I don't know what worries me worse, the sold IP rights to Rockstar, or the title.

  Quite a few games get shown behind close doors, this definitely isn't going to be the only one. : Poor Yurik
  - i guess Remedy just needed a vacation and wanted to show their game off to a few people. : Ford42
- Then the secret audience will "leak" some hype about how awesome the game is. Obviously. : FunkyBass

The Fall of Max Payne?

A. The name sucks and describes too much of the story
B. Why does Max need to fall further? He's gone through so much already. :(

SKIPPABLE CUTSCENES PLEASE. (and I'm not talking about the comic book ones)

I think the main reason I didn't replay the game through (something that's incredibly rare for me as it is) was due to the long and unskippable cutscenes. :(
