Gameplay/Overview:  Murdered:Soul Suspect takes place in the town of Salem in the state of Massachusetts. Okay first off, that's pretty cool, especially when you throw in the fact that in order to learn more about the case and the persons invovled players have to talk to all the 'past' citzens of this city wrought in a diabolical history. Players will be unable to talk to human NPCs and must instead rely upon 'reading their minds' which allows you to influeneces their thoughts and decisions at will. Players will also have the assistance of a human ally in the character Joy, a girl with psychic abilities which obviously include seeing and speaking with the long departed. Add in a pottery scene with Demi Moore and Whoopi Goldberg to voice the girl and we would have a Hollywood hit on our hands, but oh well back to the review. Soul Suspect contains a bit of a horror element mixed in with all the supernatural crime-fighting, with the addition of soul-sucking demons that players can evade by opening dimensional tears (...wait a minute...doesn't that sound alot like another certain game inwhich players run around as a detective with the assistance of a young girl with interesting powers...hmm...nahh must just be my imagination.) in addition to a phenominal looking environments that really helps to give the player a true sense of all things dark and foreboding. As the game approaes its June 3rd release date hopefully more things will be reveal, but as with all good things developers tend to keep major aspects under wraps, so be sure to tune in again next week for your gaming update. Stay frosty folks!
