Sherlock Holmes: Crimes & Punishments

"You know my Methods, Watson."

This is the first Sherlock Holmes game I played and I'd say I enjoyed it and would recommend that it be played. Is GOTY worthy, no, but definitely worth a play through. In this game you will analyze and arranging clues, chose which leads you wish to persue, interrogate and interview suspects and witnesses, generate character portraits, form deductions based on evidence found, and finally determine the guilty parties and their fate as to whether they will be condemned or absolved. There are 6 unrelated cases you will investigate. In a way you get to chose which way the investigation will go. Should take around 10-12 hours to complete and it is a fairly easy completion. There are some missable achievements and several that you will need to perform certain actions throughout most of the game in order to learn. As long as your aware of them and what to do they won't be a problem to unlock. Once you get an idea of how to play it really is simple and no guide should be needed. Overall a fun and simple point and click mystery game.

  • If you've played the first Super Soccer Blast game then this one will be very familiar to you. The gameplay, controls, mechanics, design, achievements, and most everything else felt the same. Most of the achievements are the same with the exception of a few miscellaneous ones that are different. Still easy though. It seems like this game might have some framerate issues...

  • This game had an interesting concept but I wouldn't say I had fun playing it. It's a abstract, trippy walking simulator with a constantly changing environment depending on how you move through the game. I liked the artwork, coloring, and soundtrack this game had however it is very brief and pretty linear. He quick and easy 1000g is really all this game...

  • Simpler black and grey Atari side scrolling platformer. It sort of reminded me of something that would have played on the original Gameboy. Basically a new age old school game. Probably not for everyone. But definitely for those who want to top off their gamerscore quickly and easily. About a 45 min-1 hour completion.

  • There are many point-and-click/puzzle games that just feel like a chore to play and the sole purpose of playing is only for the completion. I've played too many of them where I was just looking to blast through the game as quick as possible and couldn't wait to be done with. I can honestly say though that this was not the case with this game. The...

  • A silly 3D puzzle parking game with kicking mechanics. I had some fun at first with this game, but because of the poor mechanics, repetitiveness, annoying music, and several grindy achievements I was ready to move onto another game after a while. In this game you will shift parked cars in different directions to create an open path to get your car...
