After arriving in a helicopter with Rodrigo Branco, his beautiful trophy wife Fabiana and her sister Giovanna, Max is tasked with babysitting them while they dance the night away. Our first mission was set in a night club. We weren't allowed to see the opening cutscenes or the first mission - which we were told is essentially a tutorial - but were able to play through the 2nd to 4th missions of the game. Rockstar Games allowed us to play through three missions of Max Payne 3 on both Xbox 360 and PC. Once we'd had the game explained to us (the back story, the basic features of the game etc) we grabbed a controller and began playing. We all crowded around the projection and watched the brand new Max Payne 3 TV Spot which had just been launched that day. There were shell casings all over the floor and a bunch of TV's and Xbox 360's set up with Max Payne 3 on them, plus a huge projection on the wall showing the game too. Rockstar picked up myself and the other fansite webmasters from our hotel (the five star Soho Grand) at around 4:30 PM and took us to the old warehouse in Brooklyn which they used for the Red Dead Redemption fansite event a few years ago. You can see some of my personal photos from the trip at my Facebook.

I have put together a full write up of my trip over at which goes into excruciating detail about exactly what I got up to on the trip, however to keep things simple for those who don't care how much my breakfast cost, below is my Max Payne 3 Preview. Over the weekend of April 20-22, I was invited to New York by Rockstar Games to preview Max Payne 3.
