I heard Alan Wake and Max Payne had double meanings. I know Alan Wake is suppose to be A.Wake but what is Max Paynes?

Payne is a homophone of Pain. Therefore Max Payne => Max Pain.


Man... I thought Pain was just a given and there was something else....


 Nah. Both games have some simple wordplay in their protagonists' names, and they both relate to the themes of their respective games (Max Payne's suffering and Alan Wake's insomnia), but that's pretty much it.
