i finally finished playing Max Payne and started right into Max Payne 2. good stuff. MP2 is definitely a better game, though it's a improvement on the first game, not an evolution from it. i should write a film noir piece that's more modernistic. i think the closest thing to film noir that we've seen lately in the big-time movies are the likes of 9mm and se7en, both of which really depended more on shock value to move the audience rather than a bitter analysis of the human condition. like so many things, the modern iterations try, but seem to lose the essential core of what the older stuff had.
