PS3, X360, PC- Max Payne 3
- Review
- Rockstar Games modernizes and makes Max Payne its own, creating something grittier and more grounded in reality, if not quite as singular.

The 40th Day streamlines in spots, but it ends up feeling like a very straightforward and somewhat bland shooter.

Salem and Rios return with a new adventure set in Shanghai called Army of Two: The 40th Day.
Overview
Army of Two the 40th day was developed by EA Montreal and is the sequel to the original Army Of Two. Like its predecessor, T.F.D. focuses heavily on co-op play either with a human or an A.I. controlled partner. Following Salem and Rios again, this time they are working for their own private military corporation, Trans World Operations (TWO). 40th day is set solely in Shanghai rather than the globe-trotting of the first game to create a more believable experience and it puts players in the middle of an ongoing catastrophe and conflict.Gameplay
The game added a new feature called "two-man tactics" to give players a greater amount of choice as to how they will tackle each challenge in the game. Other new features are an overhauled A.I. system, new co-op partner controls, a realistic materials system that allows shooting through walls. Also the weapon customization has been upgraded; now you can put any part of a weapon onto another weapon, which changes both the look and stats.Plot
At the end of the first game, Salem and Rios took down the SCC corporation, thus making them start their own private military organization called TWO (Trans World Operations). There is a cutscene with Rios and Salem in a helicopter along with Cha Min Soo and Viktor Roshanko, weapon and armor dealers, and their investors. They ask Alice to be their contract filer and she agrees. In this second installment in the series, Rios and Salem travel to Shanghai for a reason that is "yet unknown". As the two are there, the city turns to chaos and an unknown army has attacked for an unknown reason. It is the choice of Rios and Salem to fight their way out, or to discover the mystery of the 40th Day and save the city.Soundtrack
