Its only day 1 of GDC and already some exciting news has been broken. Max Payne 3 coming to 360/PS3/PC this winter – AWESOME and AT&T has almost confirmed the announcement of a new iPhone coming in June 09.

Max Payne 1 & 2 were both awesome games and whilst the movie sucked ass MASSIVELY, the prospect of returning to Max’s world in a gaming environment fills us with excitement. Question is, how will Max survive in today’s game space? Simply having the bullet time effect is not enough now. It’s been done too many times in other games, not to mention in 2 previous Max Payne titles. We’ll be keeping a very close eye on this game as we look forward to the snowy bit of the year when the game will finally be on store shelves.

Moving on, I want an iPhone (as I announced on last week’s podcast) and the fact that Apple will probably be making a new one available this year means suddenly I want one a lot sooner than I thought I would. In reality I will not end up getting one at release, but I can feel pretty confident when I say that we’ll be treated to record breaking sales again for this device, just as we were for the 2 previous iterations of it.

iPhone and iPod Touch have both established themselves as serious gaming platforms and with the recent announcement from Apple themselves of firmware 3.0 and big name franchises like Metal Gear Solid and Time Crisis moving onto the portable device things are looking hyper rosey (and mega stylish) for the makers of the world’s coolest mobile.

If this is what the first half of day 1 has brought us, wtf will we be like by the end of the week?

1gb MP3 Sunglasses – Price: £49.99 + £3.95 shipping from iwantoneofthose.com

These 1GB wireless MP3 Sunglasses effortlessly bring sunshine and music together. Unlike previous versions, the earphones themselves are super-adjustable and very comfortable, and the sound quality is excellent. The player’s controls are situated on the arms of the glasses, the lenses are blue tinted and will filter out 100% of harmful UVB and UVA rays. They come with a semi-rigid sunglasses case and a USB cord so you can hook them up to your computer for downloading your tunes. You can charge them up from the mains or the cigarette lighter in your car, and a full charge will give about four to five hours of play. Rather cool looking we reckon, so now you can kick back in the sun, or get on your bike with no wires in sight, and listen to all your favourite tunes. Excellent.
