Jesse Sanchez writes: "Well it was inevitable. With the recent resurgence in the popularity of Sherlock Holmes thanks to the Robert Downey Jr. movie, we were destined to see the eccentric Mr. Holmes start solving mysteries once again on our home consoles with the assistance of his trusty sidekick Dr. Watson. The new Sherlock Holmes Vs Jack the Ripper puts Sherlock right back into the genre that suits him best, classic adventure style gameplay. The veterans of adventure games at Frogwares and Dreamcatcher Interactive want fans of Sherlock to experience his deductive abilities more than his gun-slinging talents. So the question is – are you ready to face the most infamous slasher in history and solve the crime?"
If you've never played a Sherlock Holmes adventure, give these games a try.
Amazon just added new game deals to its Summer Sale.
Those of you checking out this review to find out if this is a fighting game involving historical and literary figures are going to be sorely disappointed. There will be no Abraham Lincoln vs. John Wilkes Booth. You cannot recreate presidential grudge matches and have Teddy Roosevelt face off against Taft. And you cannot attempt to change history and prevent the fight between Mel Gibson and his dignity.
