SouthPeak Games have announced that their new investigation title, Crime Scene, is set for release on the DS in time for Christmas.

As with many games in the crime genre, this will place you in the shoes of a detective and allow you access to police tools to aid you in solving crimes and bringing justice.

You will have to plough through scenes of crime with the use of the screen and stylus, as well as using the microphone to speak and breathe into. As you attempt to investigate who carried out the crime you will be asked to study bodies, take blood samples, collect fingerprints, recognise voices and collect DNA.

Richard Iggo, VP of Marketing at SouthPeak said:

“People love a good ‘whodunit’, so we’re about to give them a bunch of head-scratching crimes to solve…Whether you are a fan of police dramas on TV, classic detective fiction, or just tricky puzzles, Crime Scene allows players to take part in their own tense, high stakes investigation and get involved in forensic work.”

Keep an eye out for a firm release date. For now, here are a few screenshots. Please click on the thumbnails to enlarge.
