New Max Payne 3 Trailer, Screens

Rockstar Games just released the second official trailer for Max Payne 3 and also sent GameSpot a couple of exclusive screenshots to accompany it, including this one, in which one of Max's enemies appears to lose his gun, and his face:

Like the debut trailer released in September, today's doesn't give too much away about the story. It does offer some insight into the titular protagonist's unenviable predicament, though; it seems the kidnap victim mentioned previously is Fabiana Branco, the trophy wife of Max's powerful employer. Worse still, she was under Max's protection when she was taken. We're told that this is merely the start of Max's ordeal, which, as he fights to uncover the truth behind the kidnapping, will see him getting pulled into all manner of messed-up situations that involve Sao Paulo's street gangs, elite police units, and paramilitary forces.

The Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of Max Payne 3 are currently scheduled for release on May 18. The PC version will follow on June 1. Look for more Max Payne 3 goodness on GameSpot in the coming months.
