News L.A. Noire's Campaign Is Roughly 25 Hours In Length
Hopefully nobody will be moaning about the length of L
A. Noire's</a> single-player campaign, as a report on PlayStation Lifestyle pitches the experience at about 25 hours in length. Apparently that time-span relates purely to the main campaign, and not side-missions and cases that help to flesh out the secondary characters.

Team Bondi's crime detective title, L
A. Noire</a>, is due out on May 17th in North America and May 20th in Europe. It's a tired cliche, but we cannot wait. Rockstar seems to be making a habbit of scooping the game of the year every 12 months.

News Ok, Now We're Excited For Rockstar's L.A. Noire
We've been a little harsh on L

News There's More Than A Hint Of Uncanny Valley In This L.A. Noire Trailer
Look, the tech behind L
A. Noire</a> is clearly absolutely phenomenal. We get that. At the same time, the game just looks weird.
