Grudgingly watched Capt Americaas prep for Avengerson Tuesday. Struggled to parse his exact powers. Just being a bit strong? The discus?


When I'm dead, feel free to make a hologram of me sat at my desk listlessly replying to emails.

We quiz HMV Harlow on Max Payne 3 I’m interested in Max Payne 3. Do you know when it’s out? Yep, one second. *frantic typing*It’s out on May 25th. Which console do you want it on?


Console? Is it not coming to PC? I’m not sure. We don’t stock PC games any more. It might be better to get the PC version off our website. There’s two editions of the game: the £39.99 standard edition and a £79.99 super duper version.


Er, what makes it super duper? Not sure. It will have extra things in it but I don’t know what. Let me find out. *more typing*It comes with digital character and weapon packs and a ten-inch statue of Max Payne. It’s not listed for PC. I can try and place an order for you if you want, but I won’t be able to guarantee we get any in.


VERDICT:


Great, friendly service but there were a lot of ‘not sures’ and a disappointing lack of knowledge about the PC version – a shame given that Max Payne originated on that platform.


Score: 6/10
