Max Payne 3 Retail.
I finally got Max Payne 3 PC retail. I was disappointed to discover that it's not SteamWorks compatible. What is up with that, Rockstar?

Re: Max Payne 3 Retail.
Yea, I know how you feel but not really. I'm a huge physical copy buff. I didn't want to buy MP3 on disc at retail price because I knew I wouldn't want to play it knowing the Steam version had Steamworks.
Luckily Amazon had a great deal where it was priced at $30, it is still on sale but for $40 now, which I find weird I guess it was selling too well or they messed up and priced it too low.
But one day when the price is right I will buy the physical copy for that one day Steam goes down or I don't have internet connection.
Plus I get no cd cracks for all my games because I deserve that right.
But to go back on topic, here is a link with all games that use Steamworks:

It tells you what games use Steamworks and whether the physical or retail copy can be used and activated on Steam.
Same thing goes for L.A. Noire which I snagged the complete edition for $7.50 a few weeks ago as well. The retail copy is basic DRM while the Steam version uses Steamworks.
So check that site and don't let it happen again lol. I've noticed quite a few games have been on Steam for download only, or only the download has achievements.
I'm waiting for Reckoning: Kingdoms of Amalur to go down in price on Steam to get those achievements, and the Witcher 2, too. Have the retail copies, but those can't be registered on Steam.

I got a review copy:
http://www.goozernation.com/video-games ... payne-3-pc
It was an enjoyable game but I was disappointed that it didn't take place in NY like the previous two.

Re: Max Payne 3 Retail.
Funny you complain about not having Steamworks on a product you did not even purchase.
You make my day.
Also just wanted to state, with my tiny alterations to those Max Payne 3 covers I uploaded, why complain. Even in your signature you state these are all free.
Not claiming them to be mine, just wanted to give people the better US option.
