There's another entry into the action-horror fold, but Ghost Hunter may fade into obscurity quicker than it bargained for. Read Review
In this survival horror action game from Sony, players slip into the role of young policeman Lazarus Jones, who stumbles upon the defunct lab of parapsychologist Professor Richmond. Not knowing what they have discovered, Lazarus and his partner, Anna Steele, make a grave mistake and accidentally release the professor's collection of malevolent ghosts upon the unsuspecting public. The vengeful ghosts immediately abduct the policeman's female partner, but luckily Lazarus somehow achieves the gift of second sight that enables him to see the creatures of the night. A new ghost hunter is born. The actual gameplay mechanics follow the "gotta catch 'em all" concept. Stun ghosts, then capture them Ghostbusters-style.
The survival-horror genre recently mutated, spawning an offshoot, known as the action-horror genre. The Suffering expertly proved that you don't need limited ammo and angular control to have fun with things that go bump in the night, and Ghost Hunter follows this mantra. Crafting a decent game in this vein may sound like a cakewalk, but Ghost Hunter proves it's a little more difficult than you may think. Read More »

Lazarus Jones. This guy should have been the fifth Ghost Buster. He's a rookie cop from Detroit who's forcefully coerced into the role of ghost hunter when a routine investigation taking place at an abandoned high school turns bad. Jones' partner, Anna Steele, becomes the victim of an ectoplasmic kidnapping carried out by a rather nasty entity and erstwhile medieval knight, Sir Williams Hawksmoor. Together with a missing professor, a Max Headroom-style digital version of the professor, and all manner of ghost busting weaponry and gadgets, it's up to Laz to save Anna and the rest of the world from a torrent of evil spirits.
