L.A. Noire Videos

Everybody has heard of the infamous Grand Theft Auto series - whether it be because of having played the game, or just through those rumors about 'hot coffee' and such. They are so popular that their developer, Rockstar Games, has boomed out to lead alongside other major developers at the head of the gaming industry. So whenever they announce a new game, it's sure to rustle some interest; so, then, what is their next game?

The answer to the question is L.A. Noire. Of the game, Wikipedia says, "As the title suggests, the game draws heavily from both plot and aesthetic elements of film noir - stylistic films from the 1940s and 1950s that shared similar visual styles and themes including crime, sex and moral ambiguity and were often shot in black and white with harsh, low-key lighting. The game uses a distinctive coloring-style in homage to the visual style of film noir. The post-war setting is the backdrop for plot elements that reference the detective films of the '40s, such as corruption and drugs, with a classical jazz soundtrack."

Of course, this game has spawned many posts on blogs and on the internet in general. One particularly interesting post is not just a post at all - rather, an entire blog, focused on L.A. Noire. It flaunts mostly pictures and videos, but there is an occasional tidbit of information. If you're interested in the newest project for the notorious Rockstar, check out L.A. Noire Videos.
