L.A. Noire No Longer a PS3 Exclusive
Long delayed film-noir mystery game L.A. Noire [http://www.amazon.com/Noire-Playstation-3/dp/B002I0J5UQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1279054861&sr=1-1] is no longer a PlayStation 3 exclusive, and will be coming to the Xbox 360 as well.
You can be forgiven for being a little fuzzy on what L.A. Noire is all about, as it's been a while since we've heard anything about it. Announced back in 2006, with a release window of 'between November 2008 and September 2009' - which it missed incidentally - L.A. Noire has been a long time coming, and for the longest time, the game was going to be a PlayStation 3 exclusive.
But in the post announcing that L.A. Noire would be the cover story for the upcoming March issue of Game Informer, it was confirmed [http://gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2010/02/04/march-cover-revealed.aspx?PageIndex=2] by Game Informer writer Matt Kato that that was no longer the case: "It's not a PS3-exclusive," he said. "It was at one point, but it's coming out for the PS3 and 360 ... I really hope the game goes deep into a whole seedy, L.A. Confidential/crooked L.A.P.D./Chinatown vibe."
L.A. Noire is described as "an open-ended challenge to solve a series of gruesome murders" set in "the classic noir period of the late 1940's", and as a long-time fan of Raymond Chandler and his Phil Marlowe [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phillip_Marlowe] character, I've been looking forward to this game for a while. It's been a long time since there's been a game that really tackled that hard-boiled genre with any real style, and no game has really touched it since Max Payne. As a fan of the genre, I'm glad that more people are going to get a chance to play this.
Now; what system to get it for?
