Which I didnt expect anyaway. Looks like a decent change of pace. http://www.gametrailers.com/video/review-hd-l-a-noire/713930

What that IGN review does say though is that it all becomes very samey after the 10th case or so and you know what to expect everytime. _________________________ Intel i7 920 2.66Ghz D0 OC'd to 3.40GHz \| MSI GeForce GTX 660 Black Knight 2048MB GDDR5 \| Samsung F3 1TB \| Corsair 6GB DDR3 \| Gigabyte EX58-UD3R Intel X58 \| LG DVD±RW SATA DL RW \| Corsair TX 650W ATX2.2 PSU \| Antec 902 \| Coolermaster V8 CPU Cooler \| W7 HP 64 bit \| 27" iiyama monitor \| TM HOTAS Warthog #05225 \| TM Cougar MFDs \| Saitek Pro-flight combat pedals \| Track IR 5 Falcon BMS \| DCS A-10C \| Flaming Cliffs 3 \| RoF \| BoB 2 2.12 \| EECH 1.15 \| ArmA 3 "A nugget of purest green!"

To some degree that is the case with most Rockstar titles, even RDR, but I seem to enjoy them nonetheless... I'm looking forward to a new twist in this type of game, we'll know tomorrow. _________________________ i5-2500k@4.8ghz, Asus P8Z68-V Pro/Gen3, 16GB G.Skill@1600, Noctua D14, EVGA GTX 670 SC 4GB, X-Fi TitaniumHD, HAF932, Corsair TX850, Win7x64Pro, 3 x P2310H monitors, TrackIR4, Saitek X52Pro + Pro Rudders + Cessna Trim Wheel, Fanatec GT2 + G27 pedals + TH8RS shifter, Sennheiser HD580+ Modmic PSN/XBL/Steam/EA/ProjectCARS/MWO:Kludger

bisher I'll be your Huckleberry Veteran Registered: 03/14/01 Posts: 10077 Loc: Manitoba, Canada	I'm really torn between this title and Witcher 2. Decisions, decisions............ Metacritic has the xbox version at 92/100 after 23 reviews, not bad. It might be difficult to find a copy, my three main sources for gaming goodness are closed due to the flood evacuation Interesting sig Snapdad _________________________ Flight Control System - Saitek X52 throttle/Logitek Extreme 3D Pro stick - What?

Coot Merry Christmas SimHQ! Hotshot Registered: 08/30/05 Posts: 5626 Loc: !!USA!!	Looking forward to heading out and picking up my copy I pre-purchased. I don't mind having a game that's might be more laid back. Heck I enjoy playing Hidden Object games. _________________________ " Without morals a republic cannot subsist any length of time; they therefore who are decrying the Christian religion, whose morality is so sublime and pure...are undermining the solid foundation of morals, the best security for the duration of free governments."
