Noire, but rather in the superb openworld environment created by Team Bondi.

Opinion | The strongest next-gen line-up from the unlikeliest source
Why the Wii U is the best next-gen choice this Christmas.
Earlier this week, Nintendo confirmed that it was ceasing production of the Wii. You probably don't need reminding of its successes, just as Nintendo likely doesn't need reminding of the shadow it has been operating under with its successor. The Wii U, according to every sales report since its release late last year, has been a disappointment and, if you've an inkling for melodrama, something of a disaster. The common consensus is that Nintendo blew its 12-month head start.

Why Killzone Shadow Fall is almost 40GB (it used to be 290...)
Guerrilla's technical director on the next-gen fight between fidelity and file size.
At an event at Guerrilla's Amsterdam offices this week, the developer confirmed that the final version of PlayStation 4 launch title Killzone Shadow Fall clocks in at 39.7GB (in Europe, anyway: some localised versions of the game, needing fewer audio tracks in different languages, are closer to 37GB).

Review | Batman: Arkham Origins review
The Knight before Christmas.
As a young studio best known for porting Batman: Arkham City to Wii U, WB Montreal must have been desperate to prove that it belongs in the same conversation as series creator Rocksteady Games.

Review | Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies review
Hold it.
The Wright Anything legal agency is suitably named in more ways than one.
