New Sherlock Holmes game sure to intrigue

It was Sherlock who killed Colonel Mustard with the mallet in the ball room! Wait… wrong game.

Frogware Game’s is back in the studio once again to bring us a new episode of their Sherlock Holmes series, Sherlock Holmes: Nemesis, according to this post over at Adventure Gamers. At one point and time, the game was to be called Sherlock Holmes versus Arsène Lupin, but I guess Frogware might have thought that sounded a little too comic-book like, so they changed the name.

In Sherlock Holmes: Nemesis, which is the fourth game in Frogware’s Sherlock Holmes series, Sherlock will face up against master French burglar, Arsène Lupin. It will be Sherlock’s job to stop Lupin from stealing five national treasures from jolly ol’ England and if Sherlock can’t… well, I guess he’s not as good as he tells Watson that he is. He might as well go back to detective school and stop smoking those pipes, because it’s obviously not doing very much for his brain power.

Sherlock Holmes: Nemesis will be out for download sometime in the third quarter of 2008, so get your monocle shined up. You might just need it.
