| CSI: NY... Coming this fall
Check out the press release announcing the new CSI: NY game! (link and copy below) CSI: NY Announcement (Sept 4, 2008)
Not mentioned in the release, is that the game is apparently being developed by Legacy interactive and not Telltale games... who have held the Vegas license since 2005 (it is unknown if they still have the rights or not)
Anyways, what do you guys think of this news? (personally, I'm ecstatic, as i have been wanting a CSI: NY game for years...) Quote:
