  I'm suprised you could afford to hire Patrick Stewart for such a quick cameo

  I'm glad fake detective PCI Express is getting more work these days.

  In a years time, I'd love to see Matt come back to review the new Chronicles of Crime: Millennium Series collection + the other expansion (Redview) to see if things have improved since Noir. Very insightful take on these titles.

  There should be a detective pikachu version of this.

  Thanks for the review. I really appreciate how you mention it's not kid friendly and why it's not. I wish more reviews would mention things that people may have hangups with.

  Quinns in the outro could very well star in the tutorial mission of LA Noir.

  This review mentions that the game includes the ability to create new scenarios and a quick search on BGG did turn up a geeklist of custom scenarios for it. Almost all of Matt&apos;s complaints about the game stem from the writing and translations of the stories included in the game, not the actual game mechanics. So that then raises the obvious question, if there are better written custom scenarios available, does that offer enough incentive for people to get the game mainly to play those? <br><br><br>And speaking of custom scenarios, I can totally see how you could rewrite all the text in a scenario completely for the game, but what about all the scenes where you visually look for clues on your screen in a 3D environment? Hypothetically you could completely ignore that aspect of it, I suppose, and make the game into literally just a large text adventure, but that would seem to be leaving out one of the mechanical appeals of the base game.

  I was going to write a comment but my keyboard was itching.

  Matt&apos;s ability to make vigorous hand gestures without spilling his tea is amazing to me. Do all English people have this power?

  Lol - I was expecting Quinns to walk into an actual holodeck at the end, like he was withholding the SFX budget from Matt&apos;s noir transition and keeping it for himself.
