The premise of Murdered is instantly engaging: You play as Roman O'Connor, an 'unorthodox' (read: hardboiled, 'more criminal than cop' to some) detective who is murdered in cold blood while working on a particularly challenging case. You instantly reappear as a ghost of your former self, and must set about the task of solving your own murder whilst only being half in the world. It's a bit like Ghost twenty years later, with a strong film noir aesthetic (and hopefully no pottery scene).
Gaming on a budget? Well, people are in luck! If they have a console, there are tons of great games for under $10, like these ten!

Ronan O'Connor is on the hunt for a murderer: his own. Airtight Games released Murdered: Soul Suspect in 2014 to mixed reviews. Has time been more forgiving? JDR is on the case in today's Brutal Backlog.
