CSI: Crime Scene Investigation 2: Dark Motives, Desktop Computer

As games like The X-Files and other mystery-focused offerings continue to be put forward, a hardcore following continues to embrace them. It's often difficult for such games to be put into the media spotlight, but last year, Ubi Soft's Crime Scene Investigation did rather well thanks to a popular TV counterpart. And in light of that success, Ubi Soft's has brought forward a second effort, dubbed Dark Motives. Dark Motives tells a story faithful to the TV series in which a team of five night-shift investigators, one cop and a couple of lab technicians work together in Las Vegas, gathering and analysing evidence using forensic science techniques to solve crimes. You will play as a CSI rookie training with the best law enforcers of Las Vegas, but this time you're going to find things a little more difficult. In what is a mentally gruelling game, Dark Motives charges players with solving some five new cases, all of which are much longer and more in-depth than those in the previous offering. However, you'll be armed with a multitude of forensic equipment that includes fingerprint dusters, UV lights, Luminol and even a DNA sequencer, so your options will be plentiful. The game also plays host to several familiar and wonderfully rendered non-playable characters, all of whom bare strong likenesses to their real-life counterparts. For fans of the TV series, this helps make the adventure much more authentic, but regardless, Dark Motives is a mentally gripping virtual drama. Get involved.

Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne
When the original Max Payne was released back in 2001 it raised a few eyebrows with its combination of dark, gritty storyline, strong use of narrative, cinematic visuals and overall mature target audience. Most notable, though, was its introduction of the now commonplace 'bullet time' idea, which gave players the ability to slow down the action sequences, Matrix-style, and thus allow them to dodge...
