The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.
-J. R. R. Tolkien

I played the first DLC case last night.  I forget the name but it's in the Traffic desk.  Anyway, they have the tall goofy guy who was Rob Lowe's assistant in Wayne's World as a goofy used car salesman :)

Also, it still cracks me up how bloodthirsty the police captains are.  I'm sure they were less sensitive in 1947 to bad guys getting shot than they are today, but in the game it seems like the best possible outcome is always for the criminals to get gunned down :D

Oh I played that one. Was alright I guess.

Depends how intrigued you are by the concept.

In the end it's not game of the year - the interviewing mechanism is wonky.  But as I said before I'm a sucker for innovative game concepts, so I don't regret my purchase one bit.

If you buy just one game this year though, don't make it LA Noire.

I'm tempted as my favorite genre of books are the old Chandler, Hammett works that are foundation on noire films.

It felt like it borrowed at least as much from LA Confidential as anything else, not that that's a bad thing in & of itself.

I totally screwed it up on the first playthrough.  Arrested the right guy but used the wrong evidence.  Also screwed around too much running to the Western Union office and missed out on interviewing the stupid broad.

Oh yeah I failed because I was trying to rush and get it finished and didn't bother talking to the consul.
