L.A. Noire, Chrono Trigger — Weekly Roundup 5/16
Rockstar Games' detective thriller L.A. Noire ships this week, and it looks like other publishers are giving it a wide berth. That's not to say that there isn't anything else coming out, but games such as Spongebob Squigglepants, the Witcher 2, and the PC release of Fable 3 aren't exactly competing with L.A. Noire on its own AAA console-game territory. Chrono Trigger is finally available on the Virtual Console as well, so if you don't feel like exploring a '40s version of Los Angeles you can still have a great adventure. In addition to that, the Fantastic Four table is hitting Pinball FX 2, so we won't be hearing from Jeff Marchiafava for a few days. He's kind of obsessed like that.
