The news on the street was quiet. Like a pride of dead lions, nothing stirred. I had to get a lead from somewhere. An empty wallet and a mission of mercy escorting a case of liquor into the swirl of foreboding back alleys eventually got me my tip.

Rockstar Games has suggested the wall of silence surrounding its new game LA Noire will shortly be lifted. “There will be something great to see soon“, a Rockstar spokesperson revealed. “A proper in-depth look at the game and why it is so ground breaking and innovative, both in terms of the game’s design and the amazing new technology to support it. Expect to see a long-awaited reveal via a big cover story next month.”

The game is based on a perfectly re-created Los Angeles of the late 1940s, with players being given an open-ended challenge to solve a series of murders. As the title suggests, the game draws heavily from both plot and aesthetic elements of film noir. Take a peek at the website.
