10 Video Games That Make You Feel Like A Genius

Throughout LA Noire, you must conduct a series of criminal investigations for the Los Angeles police department. While speaking to suspects and witnesses, you need to study their facial expressions to tell if they're telling the truth, and adjust your line of questioning accordingly.

Despite the fact LA Noire's biggest selling point was solving crimes by reading body language, it's not difficult to tell if a criminal is lying when their face is twitching like crazy. In fact, it's probably the easiest part of each case! It's the rest of the investigation that's sure to leave you stumped.

As you arrive at a crime scene, it's not just about discovering the clues. You usually need to find the clues in a specific order and figure out how they're connected. Sometimes, the answer won't come to you unless you visit multiple locations.

So, once you piece everything together, the interrogations should be easy, right?

Wrong. Even when you know a perp is lying through their teeth, you won't be able to get anything out of them unless you make the right accusation. But when you have a dozen pieces of evidence, it's hard to know which one is applicable to prove the suspect is full of it. If you bring up the wrong subject, you can be stonewalled. This will prevent you from uncovering new clues, which can mess your whole case. As a result, you can spent five minutes looking at every piece of evidence during an interrogation to ensure you don't say the wrong thing.
