Another day – another list of interesting bits of news from the world of videogames

 

MMO Bright Shadow has entered open beta testing.

The Nintendo DSi is getting Ghostwire: Link to the Paranormal late next year.

 

In Ghostwire: Link to the Paranormal, players are challenged to find and capture apparitions trapped within their own environment by using the Nintendo DSi(TM) Camera and ghost tuner to access alternative frequencies beyond the standard Wi-Fi range. Spirits, shadows and demons all have their own personalities, so finding and “solving” them is anything but easy. Some are shy. Some are evil. And some will only interact with you if you bring them something they want. What’s more, factors like time of day and light levels will further challenge your ghost hunting abilities, but a wide range of upgradeable equipment is available to help you communicate with the other side.

 

Keep your mind open and ghost tuners on www.ghostwiregame.com so you don’t miss additional communications about Ghostwire: Link to the Paranormal. Follow the game on Twitter @ghostwiregame.
