The 20 best iPhone/iPad games of 2012 so far

Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective

Developer: Capcom

Price: Free

Ratings: 87 on Metacritic; 4.5 stars from App Store users

The game begins with your player character getting shot to death. But don’t worry! This wily dead person comes back as a ghost to figure out who had them killed and why. Think of it as a version of “The Sixth Sense” where you don’t have to watch a boring movie for two hours before learning the cool twist at the end!
