First Look:

CSI Hard Evidence

Even though this is not a brand new game, it is still worth mentioning as far as a tv based game goes. If you are at all into the show or the graphics used in the tech cut scenes, or are looking for a way to get your girlfriend, wife, partner or someone that you would like to share your dirty little gaming disease with, this is the game. Upon first running this game, whether you are a first person shooter or a sports fan, you still have a need to do better than the tv guys. “Hell I can sove that crime, it’s obvious, why don’t they look over there?” etc. etc.

Anyhooo, grab this, put it in the console, crack open a bottle of Shiraz with Grenoche and hunker down for cooperative CSI sleuthing with your mate. By no means a dating accessory, it does allow you to put your heads together in an interesting test of communication. I would love to have this sort of game in a Silence of the lambs sort of story (Seven, Silence of the Lambs, The Bedroom Window etc.). There are games that tie in this sort of lengthy serial killer cat and mouse game play such as Missing, or Indigo Prophecy but not for the 360 yet. At least not by where you are solving the crime other than CSI or Condemned: Criminal Origins- and these will probably be a little too disturbing for a cozy, couples crime spree.
