L.A. Noire

This is the first I've heard of this game, developed by Team Bondi and published by Rockstar Games, of Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption fame. The setting is an uncommon one for a videogame: film-noir Los Angeles from the late 1940s, and the atmosphere they've created looks pretty cool. On a more technical level, the characters' facial animation looks incredible. The people move very smoothly and naturally, and the developers claim that the player will be given an "open-ended challenge to solve a series of murders". Unfortuantely, it's coming out for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, neither of which I own,  but it looks like it could be a quite interesting game to follow.
