A.V. Club writes: "Fourteen years after Murder, She Wrote went off the air, a tie-in videogame has finally been released, just as demand had become a roiling river of frenzied anticipation. Yes, Jessica Fletcher, the widowed substitute English teacher turned successful novelist who turned down a glitzy life as an author in murder-filled New York City for a nice quiet life as an author in murder-filled Cabot Cove, Maine is back in five red-herring-filled mysteries."
Some red-hot licenses just shouldn't be pursued. Here's five television properties that got their own game to humanity's eternal shame.
Who exactly is the audience for a Murder, She Wrote game? Oh, right. Your mom.
Also, my mom.
I'm sure there are some TV shows that would make good games...how about The Walking Dead? (I know they're already making one, but hold on I'm doing a bit)
It would be like Mass Effect meets Left 4 Dead, except it's 99% conversations and 1% zombie attacks.
TWD should not be a video game OR a tv series. It should just be the comic, although I am happy for Robert Kirkman.
How could this author include the Law and Order games (there have actually been a few of them) and not include the CSI games? At least the Law and Order games worked - the last time I played a CSI game it was broken out of the box.

"I've never been a man anyone could described as "trendy". When I'm not walking the streets wearing a purple chimp badge I'm either sitting listening to my Bowie dominated playlist or watching some cult film or other. So when James told me that the game of Murder, She Wrote was on his schedule I leapt for joy and readily agreed to review it myself because you know what? I bloody love Murder, She Wrote and I don't give a damn who knows it."
Are you old enough to remember sitting down in front of the TV on a Sunday night, anticipating the appearance of Angela Lansbury in one of the longest-running mystery series ever? If so, you will be thrilled with Murder, She Wrote by Legacy Interactive, a wonderful mystery hidden object/adventure hybrid based on the long-running television series of the same name. Murder, She Wrote allows the player to join world-renowned mystery author Jessica Fletcher as she makes her way through five brand new murder mysteries.
