Hello gentle reader, and come with me on a journey into a relaxed world of gaming far away from your competitive versus.  This is a trip beyond even the laid back pleasures of co-op campaign with a group of friends.  We have arrived at our destination; the land of the hidden object game, a place that takes minimal effort to enjoy and has little in the way of challenge.  However, below its serene surface lies a cold hearted succubus ready to rip out your soul and leave you in tatters.  Interpol: The Trail of Dr Chaos was the game that almost broke me.

No this isn't the latest Carmen Sandiego game, it's the latest in a string of XBLA casual titles.  We're hot on the trail of Dr. Chaos with our magnifying glass in hand and a team of crack investigators.  Ready to read what we uncovered?  Read on.

There's a new co-op game on Xbox Live Arcade this week, and I'm not quite sure what to make of it.  Interpol: The Trail of Dr. Chaos is a "seek and find" adventure game, similar to the CSI Games on the PC, 360 and Wii.   You star as an "elite interpol agent" - though your only skills appear to be finding replica Chinese artifacts in a castle.  Sorry there's no gun play here, you are armed only with a magnifying glass.
