We begin with Ronan being thrown out of a window by the brutal and relentless serial murderer he was pursuing.

In games usually death is the end of the story, but in this tale it’s only the beginning. The game is played in a third-person view as the player navigates the protagonist, detective Ronan O’Connor, around the town of Salem. Murdered: Soul Suspect is an adventure stealth video game developed by Airtight Games and published in 2014 by Square Enix. Check out Calum Wilson Austin's thoughts in his full review.“Seeing your own body lying in the street… it’s like looking in a mirror that you don’t want to see but can’t turn away from.”

With no chance of sympathy for Aiden's plight and nothing tangible gained by invading the privacy of two-dimensial non-entities, it's fortunate that finding creative ways to dispatch your enemies (and occasionally invading another player's game online) is a lot of fun.

Ubisoft's open-world hack-fest certainly delivers on gameplay – the ability to control the city and survey its inhabitants from your phone adds a fresh sheen to a brilliant Assassin's Creed meets Splinter Cell design – but the grand promise of the setting is ruined by random, simple and at times kind of offensive characterisation. Like its protagonist, Watch Dogs is nowhere near as deep or as interesting as one might have hoped given the potential of the premise.

Watch Dogs | PS4, Xbox One, PS3, Xbox 360, PC | Retail and download | $89.95 - $99.95| In a Chicago where every civic function, every device, every machine and every method of digital communication is run through a single operating system, hacker Aiden Pearce is a god.
