- Murdered: Soul Suspect, Quantum Conundrum Dev Closes - 3 July 2014
Murdered: Soul Suspect was about a ghost detective trying to solve his own murder, but there’s not a whole lot of mystery steaming off developer Airtight’s color-drained corpse.

- Jason's Top Ten Games Of 2012 - 3 January 2013

From physics puzzlers to ninja simulators, 2012's library was full of interesting, creative, unique experiences. I played a lot of games last year. A few were bad. Most were good. Some were great. Those are the ones I'll remember: the games that stood out from the pack in memorable ways. So here are my ten favorite games of 2012. Presented in no particular order: Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward My personal game of the year , Virtue's Last Reward kept me up for many hours, many nights in a row. Though some—like Kotaku boss Stephen Totilo—have found the game's opaque puzzles and overwrought dialogue to be rather tedious, I enjoyed every moment of Aksys's chilling visual novel. The Last Story A wonderfully well-written role-playing game with pleasant British vo…
