"L.A. Noire is a game that offers an experience unlike any that you have ever had in a video game before. Set in a wonderful recreation of Los Angeles during the late 1940′s in post-war America, you take the role of the war hero Cole Phelps.
In the beginning, you work your way through the ranks in order to earn a name for yourself–starting off as a simple officer, but soon gaining notoriety after successfully cracking a big case. It’s at that point that you’re thrust into the role of Detective and the game gets going full swing."

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..
L.A. Noire is coming to the library of free games available to GTA+ Members on Thursday, May 2.
5 out of 5!
Another 5/5. Word.
