Christmas brings a few presents for Max Payne - in the way of some new awards.
The best one of the lot is the BEST SINGLE PLAYER ACTION GAME award of the year
given to Max Payne by Gamespot.com! In their
award,(
http://gamespot.com/gamespot/features/pc/bestof_2001/p3_02.html ) they
say....
Max Payne isn't just a mindless action game with a slow-motion novelty. The
extra effort that Remedy Entertainment put into development is plainly apparent
in Max Payne, and ultimately, the game was well worth the wait.
Action game of the year is a great honor, and we're glad that Gamespot.com
bestowed that upon Max, Remedy, and ourselves. Thanks guys!
In other Game of the year news, Voodoo Extreme's poll of the fans for Game of
the Year has ended, and Max Payne finished out on top, beating out the Xbox's
Halo title for 2001 Game of the Year! Check out the poll results here:

And to wrap up our piece on Game of the Year honors, the website Fragland voted
Max their game of the year. They had three of their staff pick their 10 best
games, and 2 of 3 picked Max number one (the third picked Max #3). Then they
picked they're combined #1 game of the year, and Max is their pick. Check out
their comments and awards here:
