The Testament of Sherlock Holmes Review: Elementary or awesome?

OXCGN:

"The Sherlock Holmes adventure game series continues with the new installment from Frogwares, the independent gaming company, and it’s most recent creation, The Testament of Sherlock Holmes.

This sixth installment provides an interesting and dark mystery to solve, which has you rather hooked from the start. The whole experience is enhanced by the great graphics.

Though if I were to describe this game in one word, well that would be…Gruesome."

I'm really glad to see an adventure game on 360. I'm not a PC gamer anymore and I miss them.

gaminoz4193d ago

This looks surprisingly good. I thought these games were only on DS and PC these days.

BadCircuit4193d ago

Are the DS versions any fun?

DeusExer4193d ago

Too bad the game will no doubt be in the shadow of the blockbuster titles of the season.

Hopefully it gets a bit more recognition once the gaming landscape is a bit more quiet.

BadCircuit4193d ago

I don't know why they release these so close to the obvious blockbusters?

It would have been a great Feb release.

gaminoz4193d ago

I know, it's going to be one of those people assume is bargin bin fodder at best or will be too busy with other titles.

calis4193d ago

I love Sherlock Holmes and this does look pretty good.

It's too bad it will not sell well.

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.

Dasteru3848d ago (Edited 3848d ago )

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.

maybe Microsoft will play it off as the free games for the month.

pedrof933876d ago

Are any of these games good ?

SpiralTear3876d ago

Dark isn't, unless you like broken stealth mechanics and terrible presentation.

LordMaim3874d ago

In other news, an error on the part of Xbox Live customers caused them to download and play Dark, The Testament of Sherlock Holmes and WRC Powerslide. Victims of this error suffered side effects ranging from disappointment to unconsciousness. Police as yet have no theories.
