I just finished Fatal Conspiracy, and it's the best CSI game yet. I was pleasantly surprised by how much more polished this game is than the last game CSI game I played (Hard Evidence). I liked how the CSIs didn't pay a Monk-level attention to the crime scene and only realized that something that didn't seem like it fit into the case at all was actually evidence when it was brought up in interrogation.
Also, the side case that connected the cases together was great. I like it when crime shows have an overarching theme to a season (which sadly doesn't happen too much in today's syndication-minded world). It really felt more like one of Telltale's seasons than any other CSI game before it, which is definitely a good thing. Agent Huntby and the criminal who was involved in the overarching crimes were great characters too. The ending also left the possibility for a direct sequel open, which was a surprise for games like this.
The thing that surprised me the most was that I actually cried during this game. Andrew Chaikin's performance in Burned Out was so believable, and the writing was so good, that when he broke down in tears I actually teared up with him.
Great job Telltale! I really hope you guys get to make more CSI games in the future. Your games definitely set the bar for games based on the franchise. And with each game you keep raising the bar higher. Hopefully Ubisoft will wise up and let you make games based on the other CSI franchises too.
