Have you noticed that TV detectives and crime investigators spend a great deal of time on their mobile phones? Somehow these calls always help unlock a key detail that breaks the case. Well, the same kinds of calls are part of the new CSI: Crime Scene Investigations--The Mobile Game, based on the CBS series, with a plot developed with the aid of series creator Anthony E. Zuiker. Now available via GameLoft, this game puts you in the role of lead investigator, and you'll get help from other characters who call you with tips on the case.

In addition to playing out a typical CSI type case on the handset, complete with 3D views of evidence and laboratory mini-games to gather clues, players have the option of activating an interactive phone call feature. Players then receive specialized calls during the game for clues and tips. CSI: Crime Scene Investigations--The Mobile Game is available now on most U.S. carriers.
