The guys over at the ThereIsaCanal YouTube Channel appear to be big fans of Rockstar Games and Max Payne 3. Their latest video is a real life 4 minute short parody of Rockstar’s third-person shooter that captures the game’s mood and tone. Check out their other video BattleField 5 on Google Goggles.

Being a big fan for the Max Payne franchise, I was even more excited about the upcoming Max Payne 3 when I found out it was going to have Multiplayer. I was skeptical of how they'd implement Max's signature Bullet Time® but it looks like they've figured it out. Much like the campaign it's in third-person perspective, so the game mechanics are kind of like Gears of War. I also like how they have brought Max and his partner into the multiplayer. Hard to believe it's only a month away now, May 2012.

http://contrabandmovie.net Mark Wahlberg leads the cast of Contraband, a white-knuckle action-thriller about a man trying to stay out of a world he worked hard to leave behind and the family he'll do anything to protect. Set in New Orleans, the film explores the cutthroat underground world of international smuggling—full of desperate criminals and corrupt officials, high-stakes and big payoffs—where loyalty rarely exists and death is one wrong turn away.

Chris Farraday (Wahlberg) long ago abandoned his life of crime, but after his brother-in-law, Andy (Caleb Landry Jones), botches a drug deal for his ruthless boss, Tim Briggs (Giovanni Ribisi), Chris is forced back into doing what he does best—running contraband—to settle Andy's debt. Chris is a legendary smuggler and quickly assembles a crew with the help of his best friend, Sebastian (Ben Foster), to head to Panama and return with millions in counterfeit bills.

Things quickly fall apart and with only hours to reach the cash, Chris must use his rusty skills to successfully navigate a treacherous criminal network of brutal drug lords, cops and hit men before his wife, Kate (Kate Beckinsale), and sons become their target.

The first glimpse of the long-awaited return of Max Payne - in action. Coming March 2012 to Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.

Still haunted by the memories of his traumatic past, Max begins a new life working private security protecting a wealthy industrialist and his family in São Paulo, Brazil. When gangs target the family under his protection, Max is forced to fight to save his clients and clear his name, in a bid to, once and for all, rid himself of the demons that have tortured him for far too long.
