Max Payne RULED. The dream sequence was cool... if a little frustrating to work through. A video game? You mean my whole life is a video game? I remember some old RPG that had something similar... there's a weird prophet dude standing around in the middle of nowhere, saying weird stuff. Eventually, he confidentally informs you that all of your reality is a video game, with a button weilding fiend controlling your destiny and forcing you to relive the same sequences over and over. At which point, said character was struck by lightning and turned into a chicken. Do not anger the programmers.
Hmm, maybe the most dangerous cheat would be big head mode. That could get pretty bizarre.
