Sherlock Holmes - The Secret of the Silver Earring Review
Sherlock Holmes and The Silver Earring from Frogwares was first released on CD in 2004 and is now available as a download. It's a point and click adventure with dozens of characters and clues. The mystery is excellent, but gameplay is ugly, with large rooms, tiny clues, and insufficient tutorials. Adventure lovers who like feeling they've worked really hard to solve a mystery will be satisfied, but many players will find the game frustrating when compared to more smoothly-designed competitors.
Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened Review
If you’ve ever imagined combining Arthur Conan Doyle’s famous detective, Sherlock Holmes, and H.P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu universe into a strange tale, then Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened is probably the game for you. In a gory myster/horror plot that sounds more like science fiction than a classic Victorian novel, Holmes and Watson must track down a strange cult before they can resurrect the Cthulhu.
The Lost Cases of Sherlock Holmes Review
While the casual game market is flooded with hidden object games, very few actually tie in an intriguing story, memorable characters and relevant items to find. While not a flawless adventure, The Lost Cases of Sherlock Holmes does a terrific job with delivering a cohesive interactive detective experience worth investigating.
