A worthy game in the vein of Syndicate or, only slightly worse, Syndicate Wars would be incomprehensibly grand. I still play both, they're timeless.

Too bad they run at a 100 times the normal speed.

That makes them all the better !

Or, alternatively, I play them on an older machine. Huzzah !

Rifts? Wait, thats cyberpunk-fantasy-PA or as I call it, crap.

Max Payne 1 was way too cartoony to be taken seriously as a noir game. It was like the developers smoked a gram of Super Mario Brothers when they were making the first Max Payne. Max Payne 2 did a much better job with the noir aspects, even though MP 2's story made little sense at times.

Max Payne didn't do "film" noir, because it wasn't a film.

Durr.

Don't use a Ricky Gervais avatar, Ernest.

Is Ricky a little too high brow for your KFC-working ass, Darryl? The Office is so awesome, you don't even realize how awesome it is.

Get an MI-5 avatar, then come talk to me about "awesome".

The Office does indeed epitomise awesome.

what no it's the wire.

I liked max payne and they both had pretty good stories. They were just too short and the first game had shit dream levels.
