Neil Gaiman Joins The Game-Making Biz

Sounds interesting. However, I really wish people would stop saying shit like this:

invites players to solve the mysteries of the mansion any way they choose.

Does it allow me to solve it with a tactical nuclear strike? No? Then it doesn't invite me to do things any way I choose. It's a puzzle/adventure game that lets me click on things in a puzzle/adventure manner. As long as it's fun, why is there a need to lie about what I am able to do?

Hear hear!

Before March 2012, I'd be jumping in joy over news like this. However a statement like that makes me think back on BioWare and take caution.

Then again I did just plow through Neverwhere in just 2 days, pausing for work and 4 hours of sleep simply because I couldn't put that damn book down. Say what you want, but that man can spin some wonderful tales.

It'll certainly be interesting to see how his skills at storytelling in Novels and Comics etc. deal with the transition of media to a more interactive styling. I'll probably be checking it out just to see anyway. Can't say Gaiman's disappointed me yet.

Sounds alot like Ghostmaster, anyone remember that game? it was rather fun, plus a fan of his so colour me interested.
