I have a lot of blogs to write and so I figured this would be a good start. Expect to see post after post by me starting tonight *hopefully* through tomorrow and maybe even Sunday night.

Murdered: Soul Suspect has kind of been on my watch list since I first heard about. The concept and story of the game is interesting to me and hey can you honestly say playing has a ghost solving a murder wouldnt be fun? You cant -_- Dont even try!

You play has Ronan O' Connor who is murdered by a suspect he was tailing. As a Ghost in Limbo/Dusk you have some pretty awesome abilities, can walk through walls, possess people and disturb things like appliances and what not to get the livings attention. The only way out of the world of Dusk is to find the killer and bring him to justice and of course battle demonic spirits because we all know they have to show up and ruin the saving the day party!

Im happy they used Salem has the setting for the game. Salem has a lot of supernatural history in it so its the perfect choice for a game like this. Shocking though, I dont think I cant name another game that is of the horror, survival horror, or just dark ingeneral using Salem has the backdrop/setting, Hmmmm, can yall think of any?

The really interesting thing is, is that the creative director Yosuke Shiokawa based the concept of the title on Die Hard, of course with the twist of what IF John McClane died and continued on as a ghost? Now that would be an interesting Die Hard movie to watch! Im a Die Hard fan, my dad let me watch the movies with him growing up. I think it made me him happy knowing I was normally the one who liked the stuff he did. Anyway, the gameplay for the game looks smooth and the nice thing is that you wont have to have a next gen system to play this game come next year. It will be released on the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC.

Thoughts, Opinions, Angry Rants and Disturbing Stories?

The game sounds like the DS game called Ghost Trick, never played it but has the same premise, almost. If it's anything like L.A. Noire, or better I may give this one a go. Trying new things never hurt anybody right?

A ghost solving a murder case, huh? Sounds like a DS game I like called Ghost Trick. You should play that one.

Ill look into GT but Im way more excited for this one. I love my handheld, but Im more of a console gamer so this is def on my watch list.

This game sounds really interesting and why haven't I heard of it before? Thanks.

Idk Mothman, I actually hadnt seen it talked about on here and to me that seemed like a freaking crime. This game is shaping up to be a good one, I dont want it to be one that fades in the back because it wasnt heard about.

Salem is an interesting setting, although I think I'd be more interested if it was set during the witch trials and you were an undead witch. This still looks cool, though.

By the way, I have a disturbing ghost story for you: I read this in the nude, and I'm pale enough to look like a ghost. You're welcome.

That would be a very great game idea!

Of course now I got to go wack my head against the wall since Im officially scarred by you X_X

I don't think you want to talk about scars right now ... don't worry though, I now have shorts on. LOL
