PCs felt like the perfect platform for Max Payne 3 what with all the mod support this game will eventually get but things do look a bit bleak now since Rockstar revealed the game’s system requirements. To be brutally honest, Rockstar has never been very good at PC ports of their new games and their insanely steep requirements for this game only cement that fact.

Nash, as he prefers being called, woke up to the wonders of gaming rather late but don't bring that up around him. It's a touchy subject. A self confessed Battlefield veteran, Nash spent a good part of 2010 on the Steam Battlefield - with Bad Company (see what we did there?). He has a zero tolerance policy towards RTS games but is currently showing an interest by picking up and moving people - who he refers to as units - in the office. Thank God he's not that enthusiastic about Angry Birds or we'd be seeing women flying all over the place. Bali... Bali, put the receptionist down now.
