Sure, it's not coming out until May, but I'm also excited about L.A. Noire. An adventure game developed by Rockstar and Australia's Team Bondi, L.A. Noire is a detective story told from the perspective of Cole Phillips. A new detective in a corrupt L.A. police force in 1947, Cole has to solve multiple murders, but instead of doing it strictly through fisticuffs and gun play, he discovers evidence and interrogates witnesses on the way to unraveling crimes that actually took place during that era.
The real meat of the game is the interrogation sequences, where facial mapping has made it possible to actually tell if a witness is lying by facial ticks, the way they move their eyes, or the anger expressed through their voice and expressions. If you watch the trailers, it's unlike anything you've seen in a game, and it's these sequences that got me excited in the first place. Finding out it's closer to an old-school adventure game than what you normally get out of Rockstar sealed the deal for me.
Definitely getting this one the day it's released.

-I'll get this one on the PS3 so Jed can try it out as well.
