They have faces?

L.A.Noire was released on PS3 a while ago, and I love it, sure the game gets repetitive and the main Character seems to have an anger management problem, sure you can't ACTUALLY tell if someone is lying or telling the truth and the game somehow ALWAYS gets you to solve the case (to progress in storyline) but I still freaking love the game.

I got so annoyed from all the unrealistic "I will fight for our freedom" type games that I see a fresh change in mood when playing L.A.Noire. You are a cop! A COP! Not the "True Crime: Streets of LA" type cop who is just another "Grand Theft Auto" style guy who happens to fight crime with ... crime, but a type of cop who, sure has his anger management problems, but who solves cases by going through evidence and stuff... yes, even when handed over to you!

Did I mention the facial Animations? I was following L.A.Noire since the first time I saw the first trailer and the facial animations have been a huge reason for that. Everything from eyebrows to cheeks to chin and throat muscles while talking move in such a realistic way that when looking at it, you get the feeling it's real (please look past the obvious fact that the textures aren't all 100% accurate and all the tech blah!) I'm looking at this from a gamer perspective where nitpicking is "fake and gay"... period! I hope they will continue making games with that technology and not sit on their a**es and pretend this never happened.

Just like Heavy Rain... It was one of the most interesting games I've played in a very long time, or Mirror's Edge. It just seems that Huge Gaming companies seem to have decided to just ignore their gamers opinions and go ahead with what seems to make more money.

I'll go play a little more Cop & Killer. Until next time, Game on!
