I'm not going to lie to you, dear readers. I have not watched the below trailer for Ubisoft's upcoming game based off the television show CSI, titled CSI: Crime Scene Investigation: Deadly Intent.
See the video will be done downloading in six hours and 37 minutes, and I plan to be doing other things for much of that time. When it is done, I plan to upload the video to Dtoid, embed that thing and stick it in the bottom of the post for everyone to enjoy. At no point, unless I am bored out of my mind later, do I plan to watch said trailer merely because no trailer for a game should take this long to download. I'm a spiteful man, so you're going to have to tell me how the trailer is after I tell you about the game.
If you dig CSI then you'll be happy to know that the game will be coming out for the PC, Xbox 360, Wii and Nintendo DS. It appears the game will follow much the same path as previous CSI games, except now you'll be playing with the show's updated cast, including good ol' Larry Fishburne.
Lot's of point and click mystery solving for those who are interested, I'm sure. The DS version of the game will also feature some extra cases that will use an "enhanced questioning system." The game will launch this Fall. I'm finding it a little challenging to get excited, but if the trailer looks any good, please let me know so I can spite it some more by not watching it even harder.

What a completely dreadful bore this appears to be, especially knowing that marketing departments use the most exciting footage/features they have for trailers. The rest of the game must be as thrilling as boiled bean sprouts.

Nice throwback Furious Styles!
Larry: By the time we're done. You won't have to.
I need to forget that game exists, and go watch the matrix again. It's been a whole 4 months since I've watched it!
