Everyone knows Rockstar games make massive open world games where players can lose themselves for hours on end and even though they haven’t developed L.A. Noire, it seems the upcoming third person action game will span over three discs on the Xbox360.

Yup, she's dead alright

This comes straight from Rockstar themselves in a recent one on one with Kotaku, “"L.A. Noire was always going to be a massive game, from the size and detail of the world to the length of the cases, and of course, the sheer amount of MotionScan data required for the faces of over 400 actors in-game. To tell the story and make the game we wanted to make, we knew that it was going to take an entire single layer Blu-ray disc and three Xbox discs."

Like he said, PS3 owners need not worry about disc swapping as the entire game will fit on one Blu Ray. L.A. Noire will release by the 20th of May, 2011 for the Xbox360 and PS3.

Nash, as he prefers being called, woke up to the wonders of gaming rather late but don't bring that up around him. It's a touchy subject. A self confessed Battlefield veteran, Nash spent a good part of 2010 on the Steam Battlefield - with Bad Company (see what we did there?). He has a zero tolerance policy towards RTS games but is currently showing an interest by picking up and moving people - who he refers to as units - in the office. Thank God he's not that enthusiastic about Angry Birds or we'd be seeing women flying all over the place. Bali... Bali, put the receptionist down now.
