Dog of Thunder - Just finished the craziest Warmachine game ever. 4v4, then 3v2, then 2v1, and I somehow won.

Sherlock without Watson is like Bert without Ernie

The Testament of Sherlock Holmes brings us another tale of Sherlock Holmes and his erstwhile assistant, Dr. James Watson. Unlike the previous entry in this long-running PC series, Sherlock Holmes vs Jack the Ripper, this time the two longtime companions are going their separate ways.

The latest trailer, "Noose Tightens", highlights this fractured relationship.

Let's be honest for a moment, no matter what the game looks like or plays like, all of you will be playing this for the fairly easy 1000 gamerscore. Personally, I enjoyed the tale of Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper and how it played with the actual history of the most infamous serial killer of all time. I hope that the latest title will be a fun way to earn some points with a halfway decent story behind it.

Not true. I've played other Sherlock-games like The Awakened on PC and i didn't get any gamerscore. Yeah, i'm pretty stupid that way.

First one wasn't great but an easy 1000G, finished it in one sitting. Just be renting this, they aren't worth buying

That trailer annoyed me.. I don't know why. Graphics look decent, shame that is most likely pc graphics.

Bought the first one used for it's easy achievements. Although it was sort of monotonous, I did sort of enjoy it. For anybody who hasn't played any previous Sherlock Holmes games, I compare it to a poor man's LA Noire (the investigation aspect, sans gunfights). For the right price, it can have some good value.

The voice acting is terrible! ...
I haven't played Holmes vs. Jack The Ripper, but I'd like to if I could find it for the right price.

It wasn't particularly good in jack the ripper.

I have been keenly waiting for this game for sometime now, I really enjoyed the first one and really wish more games like it would be released. I was so happy when monkey island hit xbla!

Yeah, I've played every Frogwares game of Sherlock Holmes. Gamerscore means nothing to me for these games.

Definitely a rental for me. Enjoyed the last, but can't justify the full price for a one sitting game.

Bahonly fools care about graphics so much. The main thing for games is the story, music, controls, and characters.. A true gamer couldn't care less about graphics.warning
