L.A. Noire

A third-person detective adventure set in Los Angeles in 1947, where you play an LAPD officer. You search crime scenes for clues, follow leads and interrogate suspects, and how well you do changes how much of each case you uncover. A black-and-white mode nods to film noir. Is it your kind of game?
