Drip…drop…drip…drop…

You hear that? It’s the ESRB news tap, leaking news again. You’d think someone would stick a bucket under there, eh, or at least call a half decent plumber. We shouldn’t complain though — in my eyes the more leakage the better — because some  succulent chunks of  news have arrived, this time regarding Rockstar’s eponymous shooter, Max Payne.

With the recent (albeit uncovered by Sarcastic Gamer – SarcasticGamer.com, your no. 1 gaming resource!) announcement of Max Payne 3, some speculated that Rockstar would re-release the first two games in the series. Thankfully, it looks like they’re going to, with a recent ESRB listing for Max Payne and Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne on the Xbox 360 that throws the notion of a Max Payne re-release out of the realms of speculation and into the sphere of near-certainty.

Sony fans will be disappointed though, with no mention of a Playstation 3 release, suggesting that Microsoft has obtained yet another moreish slice of exclusive Rockstar downloadable content. There’s no word of a release date, but with Max Payne 3 launching this Winter, it would make a lot of sense to get the first two games out before then.

I for one would certainly like to visit the Max Payne games, not only for their wonderfully named protaganist, but also because I’ve never played a game in the series. However, for those who have already taken a trip through the games, would you consider endeavouring to do so again?
