GRAPEVINE, Texas, Nov 22, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) --

GameStop (NYSE: GME), the world's largest multichannel retailer of video games, and Rockstar Games, a publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO), are proud to announce an exciting pre-order exclusive for the highly anticipated video game, Max Payne 3. Customers who pre-order Max Payne 3 at a U.S GameStop store or online at www.GameStop.com will get early access to the Cemetery Multiplayer Map. GameStop pre-order customers will have access to the map at the game's launch, weeks before it is made available for download to the public.

The final resting place of Max's young wife and daughter, Cemetery represents the tragic past Max cannot forget. With a wintry New York City skyline, sniping positions amongst the monuments, destructible tombstones, circular fighting arenas in a rotunda garden and a looming mausoleum, Cemetery makes a fitting final home for your enemies.

In addition, Rockstar Games has announced the Max Payne 3 Special Edition will be available for pre-order from Nov. 22, 2011 through Jan. 15, 2012 and will include:

• Disorderly Conduct Multiplayer Weapons Pack for Max Payne 3 Multiplayer that includes the Hammerhead Auto Shotgun, G9 Grenade Launcher and Molotov cocktail;
• Max Payne 3 Official Soundtrack featuring the game's instrumental score.
