Palicomp Alpha Pulse Gaming PC Review

Max Payne 3 is a third-person shooter in which the player assumes the role of its titular character, Max Payne. Max Payne 3 features a similar over-the-shoulder camera as its predecessors, with the addition of a cover mechanic, while also retaining much of the same run-and-gun style of gameplay.Max Payne 3 also marks the return of bullet-time in action sequences, for which the franchise is notable. In bullet-time it is possible to see every bullet strike an enemy in detail. New to the series is a “Last Stand” mechanic, which gives the player a grace period after losing all health during which time the player may kill the enemy that wounded them in order to continue playing, however this mechanic is only usable if the player has one or more bottles of painkillers in their possession.

This was the only gaming test in which the system struggled a little when we cranked up the settings to max.  Still, performance was impressive and reducing a setting or two here and there would improve the minimum frame rate to smooth out the game experience.

  1. looks like a good selection of components but im not impressed with the case either. Thermaltake make shoddy cases generally. low cost materials etc.

  2. looks like a nice system, but id rather build my own, as Henry said, dont like this case at all.

  3. Just like me if you are a great fan of gaming computers then you should check out the online shop.

  4. £1399.99 now…

  5. Price increases in this case are reasonable and understandable.
    The world’s components are traded in dollars.
    At the time it was reviewed, the US dollar was relatively weak – with a value of around $1.65 to £1
    The pound now only buys just over $1.50 – which is a drop of almost 10%
    That 10% movement will translate into a cost increase of around the same value
    If a company submits a machine for review and changes it within 28 days, then we will launch a FULL investigation… But a change after many months where the source of the change is (a) clear and (b) outside the supplier’s control is fine

    We hope you agree 🙂
