IGN Has a few tidbits of information from the upcoming Gameinformer magazine featuring L.A. Noir. You play as a beat up cop named Cole Phelps, and some of the gameplay consist of you solving murder crimes. Read on for further information, and check out the new Gameinformer for more details and screens.

In the March 2010 issue of Game Informer (on stands this month), the first real details of L.A. Noire are revealed. Developed by Team Bondi (The Getaway), L.A. Noire is an open-world action-adventure game set in the City of Angels in 1947. Unlike previous Rockstar efforts, L.A. Noire exists in a real city, painstakingly recreated for historical accuracy. Don't expect the "shoot everyone" mentality of a Grand Theft Auto title -- this is something completely different.
