BUT I HAVE JUST ONE LITTLE PROBLEM... I'M ALREADY DEAD MYSELF
You ever hear about a good game? A really good game? Everyone gushes about it, so you go in with high exceptions, only to have blown into fucking outer space. That was me and Ghost Trick. The puzzles were really creative and yet, I only ever needed a walkthrough once. The story, my god, THE STORY!! It's a masterwork of plot strains all webbed together to create a captivating mystery that had me scratching my head, laughing my ass off, and crying my eyes out. Those last two are helped along by increadly well written characters, Sissle, Lynne, Jowd, Cabanela, motherfucking MISSLE, all them will be living rent free in my head for years to come. I truly loved every second of this game, the worst part is that I'll never get to play it for the first time again.

An incredible game with a fun central puzzle gimmick, great music, wonderful art direction, incredible rotoscoped animation, and one of my favorite stories written for a game. This game is on all modern systems so you owe it to yourself to play this if you haven't yet.
