There's a new game being developed for the Nintendo DSi that might just creep me out. Especially if I were to play it late at night... all alone... by myself... in the dark, if that's even possible.The game is called Ghostwire. It's being developed by A Different Game based out of Sweden. It's kind of like a ghost hunting/research game... Think Ghost Hunters on your DSi. The game takes advantage of all the capabilities of the new DSi system by incorporating the camera, microphone and touch controls. Use the camera to search the area for spirits that will appear on the top half of the screen. Bottom half seems to use ghost hunting equipment, like a frequency modulator for tuning in the spirits. Once you have found the spirits, you can document them and find out why they are there. The ghosts can also give you riddles to solve that will help them find peace.
Not sure how far in production this game is in, but it did win 1st prize in Nokia's N-Gage Mobile Games Innovation Challenge 2008 earlier this year. That version of the game was for your cell phone or other mobile device. I'm hoping it will be at E3 next week. I'd like to see how this looks.
