Max Payne II Modding Info Released

This morning I received an email from Remedy that they requested be placed online. It's about the modding tools for Max Payne 2. Check it out.

MODDING TOOLS TO BE DISTRIBUTED WITH MAX PAYNE 2: THE FALL OF MAX PAYNE

Continuing in the footsteps of the original Max Payne, the necessary tools to make custom user-made modifications to the game Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne will be released with the game as the PC version is released this Fall. Several user-made modifications were made (and still are being made) to the original Max Payne including the almost legendary Kung-Fu mod.

Petri Jarvilehto comments on the modding: "We've been watching closely what people have been doing with the tools from the first game, so it'll be very interesting to see what people can come up with when they get access to the new and much improved toolset of Max Payne 2".

More details of the modding of Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne will be made available later.

Duke Nukem Forever FAQ Updated!

The Official Duke Nukem Forever FAQ maintained by Abe Rahey over at PlanetDuke has been updated with some new information and updates. Gleaned mostly from posts and information taken from our forums, the new update covers such questions as:

* When will I be able to pre-order Duke Nukem Forever?
* What are the weapons in DNF?
* Does DNF have bot support?
* How will 3DR handle beta testing?

Just about any question you might have about Duke Nukem Forever is answered here (except for the release date, of course ). If it's not been answered in this FAQ, then it hasn't been answered, and isn't likely to be. However, have a read, there's lots of goodness in here!
