This Wednesday: Interpol investigates XBLA

by Ludwig Kietzmann { Jan 5th 2009 at 2:45PM }

Seek and ye shall find a casual squint-a-thon on Xbox Live Arcade this Wednesday. Interpol: The Trail of Dr. Chaos wraps investigative, per-pixel peering around a globetrotting chase, with "elaborate crime scenes" and "hundreds of mysterious hidden objects" to eke and serenade with a celebratory "Aha!"

You need not be alone in your hunt for Dr. ~~Waldo~~ Chaos, as Interpol supports four-player co-op (both online and on couch). Perhaps you can split the 800

($10) cost with the other agents.

This looks like it'd be a lot more fun with a mouse... and probably pretty crappy on a standard def TV.

That sounds kinda cool. I should give this a try; poking around static crime screens in first-person and tracking down criminals makes me think of Phoenix Wright, and I know I'd pay for XBLA versions of the Ace Attorney games.

Although the two are hard to compare. I think I'm going to be disappointed with the game Interpol after loving the band Interpol so much.

Dr. Chaos and General Disarray?

I'll be definitely picking this one up. My girlfriend loves this kind of games (But who knows how will it play with the controller instead of mouse :S)

Damnit...you beat me to it. My girlfriend is going to LOOOOVE this game.

I will be honest....my gf's love affair with games on XBL Arcade is starting to cut into my gametime....

While a pleasant surprise.....not a factor I accounted for.

Yeah this looks like Mystery Case Files on the DS, so it's almost a lock to be gobbled up by my girlfriend.

What is this? Is it like one of those spot-the-differences games in bars?

It's more like:

"find 5 nutbolts, 2 glasses, 23 candy, 19234 tennis balls in less than 2 minutes"...

They don't need to be a ball by itself. It can be painted inside something and such. I'm pretty bad at this games :P
