L.A. Noire Teaches The Fundamentals With Orientation Trailer

Today, we’re pleased to provide a new L.A. Noire trailer. This is one of the first in-depth gameplay videos, directly from Rockstar Games.

“Orientation” is an overview of the game’s core mechanics from searching for clues, to the fundamentals of witness interrogation, and classic action including brawling and shootouts. Using all in-game footage, this first gameplay video in the series explains how your detective skills, intuition and cunning have the power to make or break each case.

You’ll be able to see every little detail when interrogating, right down to smirks, frowns, or other odd behavior, and then be given the choice to see if they are telling the truth, or lying.

L.A. Noire will be available May 17 on the Xbox 360.

I am getting kinda psyched about this one.

Man Kills Daughter For Knocking Xbox Over

This is one of the more disturbing stories that I've run across in a while, and if I ever got a chance to meet this guy, it's on!!!

Tyrone Spellman was so into his video game on his Xbox 360, that when his 17 month old daughter knocked it over he punched her in the face until she was dead. Now, maybe it's because I have a 16 month old son, I'm having a hard time making a smart ass comment about this. But if your kid ever knocks over the Xbox, GO BUY ANOTHER F'n XBOX!!!

Don't kill your kid just because you lost you save in Call of Duty 4!

Where is Darwin when you need him?
