Critic Reviews
L.A. Noire
L.A. Noire is a far cry from Rockstar's usual offerings of mayhem and badassery. This Rockstar plays it straight with white knight main character Cole Phelps, an incorruptible good cop who's looking to restore order to what would just be a day of collateral damage in Grand Theft Auto. It's the 1940s
