Instead of being only available at Microsoft stores, the plan is now available at bigger outlets.
Almost two months ago, Microsoft announced its contract plan for a 4GB Xbox 360 with Kinect. For $99, you could buy the console along with a two year subscription to Xbox Live Gold and pay $14.99 monthly.

Max Payne 2 was a game that did two things amazingly well: it provided a dark, deep, and gritty story that was accentuated by its film noir approach, and it offered unique third person shooting that was unlike anything else thanks to the bullet time system. Max Payne 3 brings both back, but neither is executed to the degree of excellence seen in the past iteration of the series.
