A story line invoking maximum pain for the main protagonist is on the cards in RockStar Games’ forthcoming Max Payne 3.  The release dates for PS3, Xbox 360 and PC have been announced.

Pop the top It’s time to head to the beach, Rockstar North is taking the crime action, pop culture references and insightful US lifestyle commentary and moving to the sun.

The Max Payne franchise is back, RockStar Games is resurrecting the hard-boiled hero that brought bullet-time to video gaming.

When blockbuster cross-platform video game L.A. Noire was released last month, many Australians got a wee bit patriotic and teary as we realised the game was substantially put together by Australian development house Team Bondi, as the nation's biggest ever and most successful video game project. However, since that time, a series of troubling allegations have emerged.

Featuring 3D support, the hit crime thriller L.A. Noire is set to come to the PC platform before the end of the year.

The investigation is complete, the clues all stack up, Rockstar Games has announced its plans to bring even more sleuthing content for L.A.Noire the very popular no-compromise detective game from Team Bondi.

Taking the role of a 40’s Gumshoe cop hard at work on the violent streets of Los Angeles is a surprisingly sedentary yet tense experience.  L.A. Noire will tax players with detecting problems never seen in interactive entertainment before.

Rockstar Games’ L.A. Noire is about to begin its gumshoe beat.  The game developed by local studio Team Bondi will take players back into a story of crime in 1947 Los Angeles.  The official launch trailer has now hit the interweb.

The folks at Rockstar Games have let slip the list of in-game Achievements and Trophies for the upcoming action detective game L.A Noire, as well as some new screen shots.
