Any suggestions for a decent serial killer game for the PC? Ones where you are the one investigating cases etc.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss three 1-1 draws.
The first got us knocked out of the FA Cup, the next puts us in a good position in our Round of 16 Europa League game, and the latest was an actual decent performance against Arsenal at Old Trafford.
All hopes for the season now rest on the Europa League - does Amorim have the squad to win it?
L.A Noire is the most recent one I played.
Not quite what you are looking for but as a game in a similar vein, the monkey island and broken sword series are fantastic
LA Noire is boring and repetitive.
Fahrenheit is supposed to be pretty good, though I keep forgetting to actually play it. Condemned is decent, but that's more a fps fighting game than the investigating.
The first third of L.A Noire (when you're actually dealing with a Serial Killer) is great... but then it's all downhill from there. If they had somehow managed to make that storyline stretch for a full game, whilst innovating new ways to keep it interesting/fresh as you went along, it would have been fantastic.
Other then that Farenheit and Heavy Rain are the most obvious suggestions...

Heavy Rain, was interesting and well planned throughout.
Definitely worth a play.

Some of the old point and click games on PC are good. Can't remember any specific games though.
Heavy Rain is PS3 exclusive IIRC.
Play "Still Life", it's great Point & Click adventure with exactly what you are after!
There is also part two of the game but the first one is much better.

Despite being a gamer, I can't be the only reason thinking.... What the feck?! I understand choosing games for story lines, graphics, AI, ect ext but your only specification... Serial killer.
Condemned: Criminal Origins and its sequel - Condemned 2.
Thought it may of come off a bit twisted but I had played a game awhile back with a similar setting. Quite enjoyed it but never finished because of a bug. I don't recall the title hence the topic.
Beat you to it
For some reason though, I've never really been able to get into the sequel as much as I try, it just doesn't seem to hold my attention as much.Those mannekins in the first though, still make me jump
What a strange response.
That's the one I played awhile back. I'll get it again and give it another shot.
2nd vote for Broken Sword. The first game at least deals with a serial killer.

You did as well
The mannequins were something else, as was that locker scene. I enjoyed the second one, granted though the premise was rather silly and the protagonist morphed into a nob of gigantic proportions. Still had that authentic serial killer feel to it though which the OP's looking for.
Heavy Rain was an awful shit cake of bullshit that I hated with every inch of my being.
Condemned 2 is horrible, stick to the first one.
