A sharp-eyed Redditer spotted a model of a very familiar-looking building in Max Payne 3, the third title in the game franchise about the police officer/vigilante/extreme introvert (just try to ignore that bleeding guy on the floor). Sure, the towers appear to have been switched, and the square is a heck of a lot greener than Nathan Phillips, but we’re pretty sure that’s Toronto’s city hall—especially since Rockstar Games, the company that developed the game, has a studio in T.O. (Incidentally, there were also some prime Toronto shots in the 2009 Max Payne movie starring Mark Wahlberg. And who could forget this?) [Reddit]
