Enjoyed by elderly people around the world, the NCIS franchise is a wellspring of introductory video game material. It’s got crime scene investigation, autopsy action, quirky science, and — every once in a while — enough action to keep grandpa from snoring on the couch.
This fall Ubisoft brings that excitement to the Xbox 360, Wii, PlayStation 3 and PC in a game featuring four brand-new investigations direct from the writers of the show.
And now I have a Christmas present for my mother. Thanks, Ubisoft.

NCIS is a great show with very well thoughtout characters and has stood the test of time very well despite being eight seasons long.

Thursday, September 22, 2011 at 8:59 AMIf they mess this up, I’m going to be very disappointed with Ubisoft.
If they get it right, though, I’ll be willing to forget about their DRM and buy it regardless.

Tony and Ziva are their, in the ninth screenshot.
Yes, I know what you are going to say – “They look nothing like them!”.

If this game allows you play as Ducky and perform an autopsy, it may get the game banned here.

Friday, September 23, 2011 at 1:21 AMI found out Abby’s actress’ real age.
We’ve found another vampire to go with Keanu people!
She’s FORTY TWO! O_o
But I’d STILL hit it! Until Ducky was performing my autopsy!
“Cause of death Doc?”
“Heart attack with signs of Rigor Mortis stiffness of the pelvic area”!
“I can see that! Anything else?”
“Stains all over from feminine fluids commonly found in the…”
“OKAY, that I can see Doc. I’m gonna need bleach for my eyes on this case…”
