The detective White is investigating a murder case, which occurred in victim’s bedroom. The room is entirely empty except for the bed, and the detective didn’t know John, but he knew right away that he used to like games. How?

Not bad, but the bed has no role in solving this riddle.

You're right. Ghost has nothing to do with it. The title was just to mislead you. Not any more though.

Because "I love games" was written all over the walls.

Nice try, but there was nothing written inside the room. No pictures either.

This is a fine answer, yet not the intended answer, which is more difficult.

hm if the bed has no role in solving this riddle then why was it mentioned in the room description?
What if the victim was found wearing a T-shirt with "I like games" written on it?

Absolutely nothing was written inside the room, not on T-shirts or anywhere else.

Because this was his bedroom, where he was sleeping for many years. It would be weird if there was no bed inside it, as this occurred in USA, and perhaps majority sleeps on beds worldwide.

I can't think of anything else right now, but altough it sounds like it, you haven't written that John is the victim.

Yes. John was murdered.
You know, the riddle is probably hard, so no wonder you cannot think of anything right now, w/o hints that is.

A tattoo
or maybe John's thumbs were scratched or something due to a crappy controller.
Or maybe John was conspicuously dressed like Mario.

He had no tattoos, he was wearing pajamas, and parts of his body didn't reveal anything important.

I'm not a sadist, but I will give the clue later. It is more rewording if you solve the riddle w/o it.

John ( as well as the detective ) was part of the charachters in the latest edition of MCF ( which would be known as MCF : Where the heck did Icey get all these wacky ideas ? )

Nope.
Sometimes I snatch ideas from the air. Sometimes I see it on television and this time I got it from my own experience.
Btw, nobody said that this particular riddle is a real good one. It can pass.

Both detective White and John were playing an online game. And they wanted to discuss something about it so they gave each other their messenger (MSN) adress. John's nick also contained his last name (for example his nick was John McJohn). On MSN John told White that he wanted them to meet in his apartment (because he wanted them to become real life friends) and he also told him that he plays a lot of other games. White agreed and John gave him his adress.
The next day White discovered that John McJohn was killed at the appropriate adress and he also knew that he liked games because he told him that the day before.
Iceman wrote that they didn't know each other and they actually didn't, because when you meet a person online you don't know him/her.

No, the bed has no role in this riddle as Iceman already said, and he also said that there was nothing written on him, his clothes or the walls.
If not, can you give us that hint ?
