Vi har i dag mottatt en pressemelding som forteller at UbiSoft har inngått en avtale om å lage et spill basert på den populære og preisvinnende TV serien CSI.
Serien rakk vel å vise seg i et par episoder her hjemme på Metropol, som dessverre ble nedlagt i går, så det er fare for at vi ikke får se fler episoder på en stund. Serien går uansett sin seiersgang rundt om i verden og har, slik "moten" er om dagen, kvalifisert til å flyttes over på spillformatet. Her er et utdrag fra pressemeldingen, som dessverre ikke sier stort om selve spillet: Ubi Soft Signs Exclusive Licensing Agreement with CBS Consumer Products® And Alliance Atlantis(tm) To Bring CSI: Crime Scene InvestigationTM to PC and consoles.

INVESTIGATIONTM for all platforms. The PC version of the game will be the first to ship worldwide in the latter half of 2003.
"It's really great for us to have the opportunity to bring such a captivating series to computer and video games," said Yves Guillemot, president and CEO of Ubi Soft Entertainment.
