Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective is the next title from Capcom's Shu Takumi, the same creative mind behind the wonderful Ace Attorney series. This game will be launching in January for the DS. You can play a flash demo of the game here.

Capcom continues to dish out excellent news. They will be releasing a sequel to the critically acclaimed and thoroughly original Okami for the Nintendo DS. The handheld is perfectly suited for the drawing-based game mechanics featured in the original. While the now-defunct Clover Studio won't be able to develop this installment in the series, the below trailer does depict adorable and intriguing gameplay. I'm excited to have Okami on the go, and hope that Capcom delivers a game that matches the fun featured in this promising footage.

I've always been a big fan of this series for the Nintendo DS. While a point-and-click adventure game about a lawyer may not seem like a blast, any fan of old Encyclopedia Brown books, old "Whodunit" TV shows, or general problem solvers will get a kick out of these games. Plus, the games have a great campy writing style and a host of memorable characters.
The newest chapter, "Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth", is about to come out, and Gamespot has an exclusive Flash version of the first level of the new game. I definitely recommend you give it a go.

Capcom's "Phoenix Wright" games are an absolute blast. There is nothing quite like playing a "laywer sim" that combines the excitement of an "Encyclopedia Brown" case with a dash of "Choose Your Own Adventure", "Law and Order," and "CSI". As a result of working my way through the series, I do find myself yelling "objection!" a lot more, and it has rekindled my love of old mystery shows ("Matlock", "Father Dowling", "Murder She Wrote", etc.)
The newest installment is called, "Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney", and will be landing on the Nintedo DS in February.
After the jump you can play a flash demo of the game courtesy of Capcom that gives a flavor of what we have to look forward to.
