LA Noire

LA Noire is out now on Xbox and PS3 and the gameplay looks fantastic, they have used motion scan technology that creates pretty impressive facial animation. In the game, developed by Team Bondi and Rockstar,  you play a detective in the 1940s who has to solve murder cases and deal with police corruption.

The game looks all encompassing with a soundtrack composed by Andrew Hale (who created the score for Scott Pilgrim vs the world) and featuring music from Billie Holiday and Thelonious Monk.

I will be buying a copy in the near future and hope to feel like I am in LA Confidential - but which kind of cop will I be - a fame seeking, money grabber like Jack Vincennes (Kevin Spacey), a rule breaker like Bud White (Russell Crowe) or a golden boy like Ed Exley (Guy Pearce)?? I'll let you know how it pans out.

Here is a clip featuring gameplay and also that meathead, Matt Parkman, from Heroes.
