Max Payne 3 is making a surprise appearance on OS X this week. Rockstar Games has announced that the game will jump and slo-mo dive into the Mac App Store on June 20th. Like its PC counterpart, the Mac version will feature higher-resolution textures and character models and "advanced graphics" over the console iterations.
Are you still playing Max Payne 3's multiplayer mode? If so, you'll be delighted to know that you have one more bit of DLC to grab next week. "Deathmatch Made in Heaven" will be available on January 22nd on all platforms, and it will add brand new co-op and competitive modes, including new weapons, bursts, items, and new achievements.
Max Payne has had a pretty difficult life. Rockstar is pulling from the character's "Painful Memories" in a new DLC pack for Max Payne 3 hitting on December 4. It will offer four new multiplayer maps and a few other perks.
After a delay, Rockstar has finally pinned down the date for Max Payne 3's "Hostage Negotiation" downloadable content. The company confirmed that it will hit PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 on Tuesday, October 30.
The "Hostage Negotiation" multiplayer pack for Max Payne 3 has been a long time coming, after being originally planned for September. While Rockstar isn't prepared to give a release date just yet, it did apologize for the delay and give out some new details about what we can expect from the upcoming DLC.
Lest your games of online cops & robbers grow stale, Rockstar today confirmed that Max Payne 3's free multiplayer DLC pack 'Disorganized Crime' will launch next week. With a new map set on the rooftops of Hoboken and new Score Attack modifiers, it'll hit PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on August 28. It'll also add a cheeky little single-player option for classic noir fans.
Max Payne 3's multiplayer DLC schedule has been completely revamped. The remaining five packs have been consolidated into three larger packs, with content from the New York Minute co-op pack and Trickle Down Economics map pack "spread across" upcoming releases.
The DLC schedule will resume in August with the Disorganized Crime Pack, which adds the Hoboken Rooftops multiplayer map. There's also new modifiers for Score Attack in Arcade Mode such as "Headshots Only." This first release will be free.
Even after all these iterations, licensed Lego games are still a hot item. Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes topped the NPD charts for the month of June, beating out Ghost Recon: Future Soldier. It probably helps that the little brick Caped Crusader appeared on roughly twice as many platforms as most other games in the month. Diablo III had an impressive third place showing, despite being on only one platform.
Are you a dirty, stinking cheater? Prepare to be matched up exclusively with others of your kind in Max Payne 3. Rockstar has initiated its cheater pool, because apparently sticking all the ne'er-do-wells together and making them deal with each other is a lot funnier than issuing bans.

Rockstar Vancouver is being dismantled, Take-Two Interactive announced today. The 35-person team, best known for its work on Bully, is being offered new positions at Rockstar Games, specifically the expanded Rockstar Toronto studio.
The plan is to bring all of Rockstar's Canadian development talent "together under one roof." In a press release, Rockstar VP Jennifer Kolbe said that "a single Canadian team will make for a powerful creative force on future projects."
When most of us watch a well-placed bullet passing through the eye socket of a hapless lackey in Max Payne 3, we feel revulsion, or pity, or even a sense of schadenfreude. "Envy" isn't a reaction that comes up much. But if you happen to be one of those rare jewels who wishes to see him- or herself riddled with bullets, Rockstar is giving you another chance.
Max Payne 3 is getting a shot in the arm of its multiplayer tomorrow with a new downloadable content pack. The Local Justice pack is coming to consoles for $5.99 (480 MSP), but it won't be available on PC until July 17. Rockstar detailed the new set of maps, complete with actual, literal maps, so you can start planning your slow-mo strategies.
Rockstar Games has announced the release date for Max Payne 3's first DLC. The "Local Justice Pack" will be available on July 3rd for PS3 and Xbox 360, with the PC version following on July 17th. The expansion adds three maps for the game's multiplayer mode, as well as a new weapon, new item, and new multiplayer faction. Expect new achievements/trophies as well.
Purchasers of the Rockstar Pass will be able to download this content as part of their subscription. It can be purchased separately at a discounted price of $5.99 (480 Microsoft Points) during launch week. Afterwards, it will go up to $7.99 (640 Microsoft Points).
The gritty single-player campaign was likely the draw for a lot of Max Payne 3 players, but the multiplayer is still going strong. Rockstar has just pushed out a new title update on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, packing mostly bug fixes and balance adjustments with a distinct focus on multiplayer. The PC version is due later today.
Although Max Payne 3 managed to secure the number two spot in last month's NPD numbers, actual sales figures suggest Rockstar's latest has seriously underperformed. According to NPD stats, Max Payne 3 managed to sell 440K units.
While that number may seem impressive to some, it is a far cry from the first-month sales of Rockstar's big 2011 game, LA Noire. That game sold nearly 900K units, but even that game fell short of industry expectations. With Max Payne selling even fewer copies, it's unsurprising that Wedbush Securities analyst Michael Pachter would call the game "a flop."
