10 Video Games That Offer Their Best Content AFTER You Beat Them

3. New York Minute Mode - Max Payne 3

New York Minute is a fan favourite mode across all three Max Payne games, unlocked after completing the campaign on any difficulty.

New York Minute is a ludicrously addictive arcade mode where players are tasked with beating the campaign's levels within a strict 60-second time limit, gaining extra time for both kills and stylish accompaniments (namely headshots and explosive kills).

Max Payne 3 is already a pretty challenging game on Normal difficulty, so throwing in a tight time constraint only amps up the challenge.

But wreaking havoc as efficiently as possible also proves a ludicrously entertaining tangent to the core story, and one hell of a reason to keep playing.

And if that's not insane enough, beating New York Minute will unlock a Hardcore version, where dying at any point will send you all the way back to the beginning.
