It was originally supposed to arrive back in 2009 (two full years ago) but the game faced several delays and missed a few launch dates in both 2010 and 2011. And now Rockstar Games has announced that Max Payne 3 will finally arrive in March of 2012.

So what can we expect? Well, this game will be the first in the series to have multiplayer, for one thing. There’s also a new reward and leveling up system as well as character load-out options. These options may be worth the wait alone.

Max Payne 3

You can expect it to be much grittier too. The game takes place 8 years after Max Payne 2, and is based in Brazil. It tells the story of his downward spiral. This is not like other Max Payne games, Max is addicted and broken, hence the story is dark and twisted. I think it’s safe to say that we can expect lots of violence. I can’t wait to play this one.

There are some reports that the ROM is not fully functional, or may not be working on all DS flash carts, which must be something of a relief for Rockstar Games.

Chinatown Wars drops players into the role of 25-year-old Huang Lee after his father’s death. As you can see in the video below, the game makes use of the Nintendo handheld’s touchscreen interface, because everyone loves interactive theft games!
