New Blood Interactive's pulp detective immersive sim Fallen Aces is out right now, but the price of the slapstick noir caper might be just as newsworthy: with its intro price and launch discount, Fallen Aces will only set you back $10, and after playing the first two of five levels in its intro episode, I think it's well worth that price.
PCG news lead Andy Chalk once said Fallen Aces looked like Condemned: Criminal Origins crossed with Dick Tracy comics, and he was right on the money. The '30s pop art and vibe in the levels is impeccable, but the real knockout is the Max Payne-style comic book cutscenes. It's really well-acted too—I think this is the most voicework New Blood has put into one of its games to date—and the classico noir characters have already won me over.
