L. A. Noire: The Soft-Boiled Detective

11.29.11
by Daniel Abraham

It’s been a couple months since I finished playing through LA Noire, but as I dig it out of the pile and take it over to Ty that he may undermine his productivity for a change, I find myself thinking back on it with real fondness and no particular desire to return.  There aren’t a lot of things that inspire this kind in instant nostalgia in me.

So, Leviathan Wakes has gotten a lot of very flattering press.  A starred Publisher’s Weekly review, great reviews in Kirkus, and Locus, and the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, the London Financial Times, and about a jillion blogs.  It’s all sort of surreal when I think about it. But nothing made me squeal like the mention I got today over at my favorite webcomic, Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal. If you aren’t already a fan, what the hell is wrong [...]
