Fun uses of the touchscreen - check Neat and unique art style - check Engrossing story and characters - check Hotel Dusk puts you in control of Kyle Hyde, a bitter, down-on-his-luck door-to-door salesman for a company called Red Crown in the late 1970s. He used to be a cop in Manhattan chasing down a massive criminal syndicate called Nile, until his partner, Bradley, went rogue and he was forced to chase him down, corner him, and shoot him. Bradley then falls into the river and is never seen again. This memory eats at Kyle and he has obsessed over Bradleys motives ever since. However, Red Crown isnt a normal sales company. Its run by Ed Vincent, a former LAPD officer who used to be buds with Kyles now-deceased father, who uses the company as a front to find things that dont want to be found. Kyle is Eds lackey for digging up all this dirt for his friends back on the force. As part of this job, Ed gets a tip that theres something to be found in this rundown place called Hotel Dusk. Kyle is to report there for the night and receive a package with further instructions. While there, he runs into about a dozen characters also staying the night there, for various reasons. Over the course of the game, as you start digging deeper and deeper into the secrets of the hotel, you figure out that, by chance, almost everyone there has some kind of connection to Nile, Bradley, or his past in some way or another. Its up to Kyle to piece it all together and come to terms with what happened between him and Bradley all those years ago. Kyle Hyde is legitimately one of my favorite protagonists of any kind of media ever. Because of his bitterness, and his tendencies as a cop, he tends to be very blunt and stick his nose into everyone elses business. Hes smarmy, crass, and yet has just about the most adorable smiling face ever. However, deep down, he truly does enjoy helping people, and he finds ways to do just that to everyone he meets in this hotel. Figuring out what happened to Bradley, why he decided to betray Kyle, and how everyone in this game is connected to all these events leads to one of the most engrossing stories in gaming. --- Xbox GT/PSN name/Nintendo ID: TatteredUniform http://www.scuffletown.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/tRBE1.gif <cite>MrSmartGuy posted [p:949604362] in The Board ...
