What more can we say about Max Payne? The dude is badass, and the game is singlehandedly responsible for the introduction of bullet time. Now, you can get the original Max Payne in all its glory on your Android device, for the stupid-low price of $2.99. Of course, there are some optimizations to be had if you own a Tegra device (most notable on Tegra 3), so you Tegra-toting Android owners out there are in for a treat.

Fair warning; you’ll have to download an additional 1.3GB of game data prior to actually being able to play Max Payne, so we recommend you connect to a WiFi connection prior to downloading. Once the download’s away, you will be presented with a Rockstar-made mobile version of the game we’ve all come to know and love over the years.

Seriously, why haven’t you downloaded this yet? Do it, NOW!

Does it have controller support or is it onscreen controls only?

this…I’d imagine that all of the diving/twisting/bullet-timing would be exceptionally difficult with touch controls

• Compatible with the GameStop Wireless Game Controller and select USB gamepads

Another awesome game on android. Nice to see Rockstar & Electronic Arts putting classic games on our mobile device. Now when is Nintendo going to stop being stubborn and bring us some Nintendo Classic.s

Under the new Verizon data plans that will cost $60 a month just to download 1G+.

If you just want to thrash Verizon…Please sir, go right ahead!
