Ben Jordan's fourth case brings him to a house that is purportedly haunted -- and he intends to find out for sure. Lacks some of the energy of case 3 but is still an enjoyable (if short) continuation to the series.

Pick of the Month

March 2005

The Ben Jordan series has been very well received since its first episode last year, and now the fourth installment is here. Take on the role of a paranormal investigator as you tackle a new mystery, this time in London.

A much more grounded and typical paranormal setting for the 4th Ben Jordan game, which is not a bad thing. This is one of my favourite entries in the Ben Jordan series. The intro movie sets the foreboding atmosphere brilliantly; trapped within the confines of a haunted house/converted bookstore Ben and 5 other paranormal investigators have to discover the dark and terrible secrets embedded in number 50 Berkeley Square's walls. While this setting and plot device has been done before (the author acknowledges this with a couple of knowing nods in the game) it's still a captivating experience. The puzzles are simple; the characters have wonderful albeit predictable personalities (in fact this is when Ben teams up with Alice and Simon) but it's still a fun game overall and shouldn't be passed up by anybody.

Definitely my favorite Ben Jordan game, and one of the better games I've ever played on AGS

This was actually a really fun game with some good suspense, dialogue, and characters. Really, there was only one meh puzzle, but overall, a very nice addition to a well done series.

This is definitely my favourite Ben Jordan game so far: better than 2 and 5 for sure and up there with 3, 6 and 1 Deluxe


By hailrain on 6 June 2008

My favorite so far. BJ gets better with each release. This time around theres nice sound effects that really add to the game. Theres more character animation when preforming certain actions. Great spooky atmosphere throughout and I did liked the music- well done! One thing- I hated using the phone in this game!
