I don't know why developers feel forced to put puzzles in their games even though half the time their irrelavant anyway but, I had a thought the other day that I don't think anyone has thought up before :D

Where would puzzles and clues come most usefull in a game, a murder mystery of course, Just imagine it YOU the detective or policeman have taken the case and have to solve all sorts of riddles and puzzles, but thats the beauty part you'll actually want to because they'll say who's guilty, who's lying and will advance you in the game :D

I know puzzle solving and head scratchers aren't to everyone's taste but at least they'll be used well in a game like this.

what do you think??

I like puzzle games, they are a lot better than first person gunny things, they are horrible, and yucky, and they are wayy to scarey, and make you jump, and you always die.

I think that you have had a very good idea!

what sort of like an advanced cluedo?
although there might not be any replay value in this kind of game unless it had variations in the plot with different victims, criminals etc....

puzzle games are good especially the fiendishly addictive tetris.

I also have a good idea for a descent N64 game, have you ever heard of Dragon Ball Z, well I thought that there should be a game called 'Dragon Ball Z: The Cell Games' for N64 or Game Boy Color/Advance, a game in which you choose 6 characters (Goku, Gohan, Trunks, Vegeta, Piccalo or Krillin).
