AT FIRST:

Love the mechanics! Innovation on a level I had not conceived! Excitement and blood pumps through my veins and arteries! After only a short time with the game, I have somehow become convinced that it will change everything forever for 'video games'.

Soon, I find myself hung up on something else. It's as if I'm afraid 'someone' is watching me play the game. Like the choices I make will make me a good or bad person - no, not in the game, in real LIFE. I quickly realize it's just a game.

For instance; Phelps walks into the shoe store to question a witness, but let's say he is distracted by a pair of shoes. A musical cue sounds. I press the (X) button, Phelps stops to look over the shoes (in a really classy way). Upon further inspection (X), Phelps says "Trash."

Here's where I get confused for just a second - does he mean that these shoes have been poorly made? Does Phelps own stock somewhere else? Should I think about this? No, of course, he means to say "trash" as in "I'm holding trash, I think I should move on, which means you should move on, asshole, press buttons and let's go."

Are you sure he was talking about the shoe, and not you?
