CSI: Hard Evidence is a computer and Xbox 360 game based on the CSI: Crime Scene Investigation television series. This is the fifth CSI game released, including CSI: Miami.

As with the previous CSI games, there are five cases to work on. However, the game includes improvements on CSI: 3 Dimensions of Murder, like a 3D crime scene kit. The voice of Sara Sidle is again performed by a soundalike (Kate Savage) and not Jorja Fox. Catherine Willows is also replaced by a soundalike in this game, with Edie Mirman standing in for Marg Helgenberger.

This is Telltale's first console game which was released inline with the PC version. It is Telltale's first Xbox 360 and Wii game. A Mac OS X version was later released by TransGaming, using their Cider technology.

In the first case, a taxi driver has been killed in an apparent arson attack inside his car. The player works with Nick Stokes in this case.

During the investigation, the victim was found to be a racist with a criminal record. The details pointed out to a homeless man from Arizona, and two women who are in a relationship, one of them was the victim's old high school prom date and being harassed by him for two weeks.

A woman is repeatedly stabbed in her house and lives, but doesn't know who hurt her. The player works with Catherine Willows in this case. The husband is initially suspected after the woman is found to have entered into a contract with an aging African-American tycoon to be the surrogate mother for his son. However, after discovering that the husband was oblivious of the arrangement, the only suspects are the tycoon and his trophy wife. This case can also be played as the sixth case of the PlayStation 2 version of the 3 Dimensions of Murder game.
