Ghost Trick is what you’d get if the film Ghost met Groundhog Day. Directed by the creator of the Ace Attorney Franchise, Shu Takumi, Ghost Trick makes death a puzzle you can play over and over a la Edge of Tomorrow. The core mystery at the heart of the game is your main character’s death. Who killed the red-suited Sissel right before the beginning of the game and why?
After the little scuffle over Bioshock a couple of weeks ago, I'd hoped to not have to come back around to this topic again soon. Oh well, two weeks is a pretty good run, right? The latest publisher to pull a game from the purchase histories of customers who bought it is Capcom, and the game in question is Ghost Trick.The game was pulled from the App Store months back after an update fixed the game in one way and broke it in another, but the main app was still available to redownload via the purchase history tab up until this weekend, as near as I can tell.

For the most part, the losing conditions in games follow a pretty standard format. You lose all your health or lives, or the time runs out, or a plot-central character dies – and then the controller breaks because it’s been thrown savagely against a wall.
Something about a game over screen conjures up loads of negative emotions. There’s frustration, if you’ve just lost a particularly close fight; despair, if it’s been a million years since the last save point; or even pure anger, when the AI is blatantly cheating you out of your rightful victory. It’s even worse if it happens very suddenly – all that steady progress gone in the blink of an eye.
You're actually dead. It was all a dream. Samus is a girl.
Yes, it's time to take a trip down memory lane in my top plot twists in gaming, but do any of them make the cut in your personal favourites?
Don't read this if you haven't played To The Moon. It's such a good game, no one should miss out.
Great article though, FFX was just plot twists: the game
It was the story of FFX that left fans wanting to know what happened after the end of FFX. I feel that FFX-2 was a fan service to give many fans closure.
At least FFX-2 gives proper closure to FFX story. The FFX-2.5 novel is seriously unneeded and spoiling both games' stories and endings to me, personally.
I have not read the novel. But I've heard that its pretty dark and upsetting. Where can i get a copy of this?
You can only read translations of Final Fantasy X-2.5 ~Price of Eternity~, however in Final Fantasy X HD Remaster you can listen to Final Fantasy X -Will-, which does a pretty good job of crapping all over the characters and takes place after Final Fantasy X-2.5 ~Price of Eternity~.
If you are happy with the ending of FFX-2 I urge you not to listen to it. Let the story end there and enjoy it good and bad. The audio drama is sequel bait that does a great job at derailing the events of the two games.
Just don't, it isn't worth it.
My favorite twist came in Jak 3, when you find out who the precursors are. I didn't expect to find out who the precursors were, let alone for them to be..well...that!
This game definitely deserves more attention
this game deserves a remaster at least..
