The Painful Memories DLC pack for Max Payne 3 will be coming out on December 4th. This has to be the most exciting pack yet. Check out the new content they're including below.

• Roscoe Street Subway -- Map, the original Roscoe Street Station from the first Max Payne is making a return in multiplayer. This has to be the greatest part of the pack for long-time fans.
• Marty’s Bar -- Map, the bar we play at in Hoboken in the single player game gets a chance at multiplayer.
• Shoot First -- Map, Branco family yacht. Should be interesting to see how multiplayer handles this level.
• Canal De Panamá -- A new map.
• IMG 5.56 -- Assault Rifle
• UAR-21 -- Assault Rifle
• Hangover Burst -- Causes enemies to respawn with blurred vision, reduced stamina and health.
• New items / avatars

The pack will cost 800 Microsoft Points or .99 on PlayStation 3 and PC. Users that already have the Rockstar Season Pass will not need to pay anything extra.

We've got some screens as well, check them out below:

It's been a while since I posted, sorry about that. I've had a very busy summer.

The "Disorganized Crime Pack" will come free to all users in August! This is some exciting news, as DLC can quickly make a hole in anyone's wallet. As for the others, here are the prices/release months:

• Hostage Negotiation Map Pack: September [800 Microsoft Points (Xbox LIVE) or .99 (PlayStation Network and PC)]
• Painful Memories Map Pack: October [800 Microsoft Points (Xbox LIVE) or .99 (PlayStation Network and PC)]

Along with this news, Rockstar has decided to consolidate upcoming DLC's and to include some other DLC's into a smaller package (and cheaper). Previously, Rockstar announced the "New York Minute CO-OP Pack" as well as the "Trickle Down Economics Map Pack". All content that was intended to be included in the "New York Minute CO-OP Pack" will be included in the "Deathmatch Made In Heaven Mode Pack". It is unclear which DLC will include the content intended to be in the "Trickle Down Economics Map Pack", but it will be one of them announced above.

Rockstar has released a bit of information on the Disorganized Crime Pack coming in August:
