L.A. Noire playable at the Mana Bar
Brisbane-based gaming bar spins the needle on the gramophone and gives Aussies the chance to play Rockstar's latest game a day before its release.
Team Bondi's long-awaited adventure game L.A. Noire is just around the corner, and to celebrate, the guys and girls at the Mana Bar are throwing a party on May 19. Not only is the bar serving up special cocktails and encouraging punters to dress up in 1940's attire, but it will also have playable demo units of L.A. Noire on hand. The event kicks off at 5 p.m., and while it's only a seven-hour head start before the game's release, it's a good chance to check out whether you like it before handing over your cash for a copy.
L.A. Noire is set in the 1940s and follows World War II veteran Cole Phelps as he commences his career with the LAPD. Players start off working the beat as a patrol man but progress to other departments within the force, like vice and homicide as the game progresses.
For more information on how to attend the L.A. Noire preview session at the Mana Bar, check out the official Facebook page.
@dinslacck Australia isn't in Europe, but I guess Europe and Aus have the same release dates.

"The event kicks off at 5 p.m., and while it's only a seven-hour head start before the game's release, it's a good chance to check out whether you like it before handing over your cash for a copy." it comes out the 17th?
Ooh I have a Fedora that is begging to be used for that :D
@YugAG: Not in America, but I'm only just realizing that this article is about Australia, :D. Of course, it doesn't change my original statement.
L.A Noir and Witcher 2... 12 May??
@Tseng - it comes out on the 20th mate ;)
They are throwing a party on the 19th that will have playable demos of a game that is out on the 17th? I should be ***** deep into it by then. :D
