Not to be outdone (or by sheer coincidence), Rockstar games has also released the official launch trailer in anticipation of Max Payne 3′s release next week.

It doesn’t cover much else that Rockstar Games’ previous trailers didn’t, and if you’re already convinced this is a day-one purchase for yourself, you probably don’t need it. For the rest of you, just sit back and enjoy the trailer.

Max Payne 3 will be arriving on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 consoles on May 18th and on Windows PCs on June 1st. Don’t forget about our RGB Giveaway for Max Payne 3 swag, including the 10-inch statuette of Max Payne, which closes tonight at 2359hrs, as well as our single-player and multiplayer previews of the game.
