L.A. Noire, Rockstar and Team Bondi’s collaborative effort will soon be coming to the PC according to Rockstar’s official site. The film noire inspired crime saga set in the forties will be developed by Rockstar Leeds to run on "a wide range of PCs". In addition to improved visuals and 3D support (not again), the PC version of L.A. Noire will also feature customizable controls for the keyboard as well as gamepad support.

There's the PC port we've been looking out for

This is definitely a spot of good news for PC gamers who’ve missed out on this game in the past. While the game is significantly slower than what you’d expect from Rockstar stables, it still offers “an engaging experience for the patient variety who have a soft spot for whodunits and penchant for painstaking detail.” For more on the game, head on over to our review.

While I appreciate this move on Rockstar’s part, I’m still wondering why they haven’t ported Red Dead Redemption to PCs yet.

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.
