SPOnG: "L.A. Noire is a dark, moody and thought-provoking adventure that’s shaping up to be one of the artistic highlights of the games industry for 2011. So I’m constantly ashamed of myself for breaking out the ol’ Chicago accent every time I see it in action.
It doesn’t look very comedic at all - you play a 1940s war veteran-cum-detective who gets embroiled in a string of gruesome murder cases that ultimately lead to the mystery of the Black Dahlia. Women are fatally slashed, stripped of all dignity and disgraced in ditches with peculiar messages written over their bodies in lipstick. And yet there’s me, doing impressions of Inspector Gadget."
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..
