13. Max Payne 2 (2003) - Taking On The Squeaky Cleaning Company
Max Payne 3 may have some of the best video game gunplay around, but it owes just about everything - apart from its inscrutable Brazilian setting - to its predecessor. Max Payne 2 still holds up to this day, and there is no level more meticulously designed to show off the its awesome physics and gunfights than the apartment complex in which you take on the Squeaky Cleaning Company. Every kill here seems to trigger a joyous chain reaction of physics. Goons fly back into shelving units in slow-motion, everything crashing around them; they flip out of windows, knocking paint buckets and wood planks off the scaffolding as they plummet tens of stories to the street below. And it's all capped off beautifully with a Hollywood shootout against gang leader Kaufman and his goons.
