Hot on the heels of his feature film debut (whatever you may think of it), Max Payne will be getting back to more familiar territory this winter. And he"ll be "darker" and "edgier" as well, if that"s even possible.

"We"re starting a new chapter of Max"s life with this game," said Rockstar founder Sam Houser. "This is Max as we"ve never seen him before, a few years older, more world-weary and cynical than ever. We experience the downward spiral of his life after the events of Max Payne 2 and witness his last chance for salvation."

Those world-weary detectives can"t ever seem to catch a break. Look forward to this one on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC.
