L.A. Noire

LA Noire is the most highly anticipated game to come out for 2011 and it is blowing gamers minds across the globe. Rockstar, the fellas responsible for the Grand Theft Auto series have pulled out all stops on this new release and it is simply beautiful. Almost flawless graphics, unbelievable sound and the dialogue scripting is the best to come in a game so far.

LA Noire is set in late 1940's Los Angelese and puts you in the shoes of a young police officer, Cole Phelps, who is a World War 2 Veteran. You work your way up from a beat cop to homicide detective by solving crimes and catching the crooks. The gameplay is similar to that of Grand Theft Auto with a huge graphics upgrade. The detective storyline is first class and is extremely well written.

The graphics are so good in this game that it is the first video game to be nominated for a film award at the annual Tribecca Film Festival. An unbelievable game that has raised the bar to an almost unreachable height. LA Noire is first class gaming and what the past 30 years of gaming has been all about. Money well spent.
