Testament of Sherlock Holmes (360/PS3) - $29.99 @ GS

[morrodox]

Just noticed this price drop.

The game is a point-and-click adventure, part of a long-running series on PC. One other title, "Sherlock Holmes vs Jack the Ripper" was also released for 360.

It's not available online, so you'll have to go to a B&M. Use these links to check availability first.

360

Games produced by Atlus seldom drop in price and tend to hold their value. It took awhile before there were any good sales on Catherine.

As much as I want to bite on this, I think with little replay value I will wait until it hits the twenty dollar mark. Thanks OP!

ANy CAG review of this game? I prefer that over site reviews. I like this style of game generally, but is it closer to Phoenix Wright or Nancy Drew? (I know those are both DS games, but I don't have any point and click for 360 or PS3...)

It's been on sale for $19.99 through PSN since last week as well.

Doesn't look like my kind of game, I'll most likely fall asleep playing this

"It doesn't let me stab or punch Dr. Watson." The game did look a little slow, but I'd prefer a review from someone who actually likes this style of game. For now, though, he convinced me to pass unless I hear something better about it. Thanks for the link.

Every time I see this game I think of Justin McElroy's story about his meeting with either the devs or publishers and one of the people there, an old lady, was talking about how amazing this game will be because

Sherlock Holmes dies in it

Horrible review, absolute rubbish. He calls the game shit in the first 20 second twice. Here is another great review of his I watched not too long ago talking about toy story mania being game of the year material
