Dave Payerle writes: As fictional detectives go, Sherlock Holmes is quite possibly the most universally recognizable of them all; enough so that, as someone who has never actually read a Sherlock Holmes story, I know offhand his address (221B Baker Street) and what instrument he plays (violin). Frogware’s series of Sherlock Holmes games have been available on PC for several years, but The Testament of Sherlock Holmes is only the second one to be released on consoles. The game has some rough edges, but it’s still a solid mystery title that genre fans should check out.
Focus Home Interactive, who Game-Modo recently described as a dark horse in publishing, have just got involved in a new Humble Bundle. They’re offering eight quality games for you to buy in a bundle while letting you do your bit for charity.
I grabbed it. I was interested enough already to try out the Game of Thrones . . .game (though I hear it is less than great).
Already owned Divinity 2, though that game is fantastic in itself.
Cities, Game of Thrones and Testament of Sherlock Holmes was worth the $25 I spent either way. Some of the other games seem interesting enough and I will probably get to them in time.
I bought it just for div 2, great game. The rest will just be icing if they turn out to be good, haven't got around to playing any yet as i'm in the middle of another play through of Oblivion lol.
