Some say that after you die you open up your eyes and find those big, white pearly gates. Detective Ronan O’connor isn’t so lucky. Rather than glimpse the heavenly afterlife, the unfortunate fellow witnesses his own violent death at the hands of an enigmatic killer on the rain-slick city streets. Now a specter, Ronan must use his new found supernatural abilities to read the minds of the living and influence their actions from beyond the grave to help uncover the identity of his own murderer and bring him to justice.

Noire and Capcom’s Ghost Trick, this haunting thriller definitely has our attention. While details of the gameplay are scarce, we’re sure to see more of this exciting looking Xbox 360 and PS3 title at E3 in just over a week.
