Look for an upcoming episode of CSI: New York to be played out in the popular online world Second Life. CSI creator Anthony Zuiker announced yesterday at the Virtual Worlds Conference and Expo that the two-part episode airing October 24 and February 6 will have Mac, played by Gary Sinise, pursue a killer's avatar through Second Life.
The hit TV show also plans to develop an online virtual CSI: NY within Second Life where viewers will be able to find games for CSI beginners and content for more advanced viewers such as "Murder By Zuiker", a blog game where you try to solve a crime by analyzing evidence found within Second Life.
