Scrawl: "Lexis Numerique has announced Red Johnson’s Chronicles, their puzzle-based crime investigation title for PlayStation Network, will launch on the service on April 19, 2011. A brand new gameplay trailer accompanied the announcement."
Red Johnson’s Chronicles wants to be the type of old school adventure game where you have to take notes to succeed. This is all well and good for a PC or console game, where you’re free to pick up a pen, but it proves to be a fundamental flaw for a mobile game.

"Red Johnson's Chronicles is an investigative point and click adventure game by Microids, developers of the critically acclaimed Syberia series, as well as Still Life and Jules Verne's Return to Mysterious Island 2. Having made its way to the PSN in 2011, Chronicles has finally been released on the PC. Is this a simple open-shut case for Red? Or will some further investigation be required? Read on to find out."
Looks like a good game, but the score is making me think twice about getting this game.
Hopefully I'll be able to get into this. Need to finally try Blue Toad as well.
looks....different
Sounds kinky.
Red's voice actor is very dull.
Saul will have his own spinoff game, Watch, you'll see.
but it's a point 'n' click adventure game, set in a gritty dysotpia, plus a lot of the puzzles in the trailer look really interesting in how they're interactive; kind of reminiscent of Silent Hill: Shattered Memories. It depends on the reviews (I don't want to spend money on something that everyone says is a piece of crap), but I've definitely got my eye on this.
