IGN writes: How excited am I for L.A. Noire to come out? I would answer "so excited," except that would be the antithesis of the reaction of every cynical, too-cool-for-school noir novel star on this list. And I love noir novels so much that I fantasize about being those protagonists, even though I share exactly none of their bad-ass qualities, except perhaps that all-important healthy dose of cynicism. If you're interested in L.A. Noire -- or interested in getting interested -- these are five books that will get you in the mood.
Members of the original development team behind Rockstar Games' LA Noire are working on a new psychological thriller called Sowden House.
Hopefully McNamara is as far away from this as possible he set up shop in Australia then did nothing but complain about Australian labour laws while trying to make his workers live at the office working 24/7 on la noire punishing them for leaving at 3 am and being 10 minutes late to work at 9am the next day.
It's astonishing that none of the workers went to the fair work ombudsman as the studio would have been fined astronomical numbers
Brendan McNamara is a brilliant writer and director but he should never, ever be in charge of a studio. What he did to those devs was far beyond "crunch", and it went on for, what, 7 years? That's insane.
But I'm glad to see some of that team have come together again to create something new. A psychological thriller sounds right up my alley.

Would love to see a sequel to the 7th gen FPS campaign SINGULARITY from RAVEN Software..

Reading rules if you have the imagination for it..The bourne legacy was quite good
You want to get ready for LA Noire and don't want to read or watch these classics? well how about some parodies of film noir like The black bird with George Segal or If you want something that takes place in the era of LA Noire you could always watch "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" another great parody is "Dead men don't wear plaid" with Steve Martin.
