I'd nearly forgotten Over the Hill's predecessor, Art of Rally, was a racing game. But that's not meant as a slight. It's just that, for all the happy hours I poured into it, I don't recall doing a single race. Instead, it was the aimless meandering, the soothing rhythms of exploration and...

Max Payne 3 was a "failure," says Dan Houser, because despite writing GTA games, he's no Sam Lake
Whatever you may think of it on its own merits, it's safe to say Max Payne 3 didn't quite live up to the previous two.
