L.A. Noire is an upcoming videogame developed by Team Bondi and published by Rockstar Games for Playstation 3. L.A. Noire is set in "a perfectly re-created Los Angeles" of the late 1940's, with players being given an open-ended challenge to solve a series of murders. The postwar setting will include the noir necessity of corruption, as well as drugs and jazz themes. The game uses a distinctive noir coloring-style to strengthen the feeling from old detective movies from the 40's.

Though little information has been disclosed so far about L.A. Noire, Rockstar has given a little impression of the game in the first trailer.[1] The "Noir" part of the name is a reference to the film noir genre, a stylish type of black-and-white movie which was most popular in the 1940s to the 1950s.

Although originally announced for the PlayStation 3, publisher representitives have made a point of listing it for "next generation consoles." This could mean that an Xbox 360 and/or Wii version may also be in development.[2]
