Pre-Order Sherlock Holmes for Nintendo DS

Sherlock Holmes, as a character, is making a huge comeback and I think that it’s mostly due to the fact that a new film about the sleuth (starring Robert Downey Jr.) will be hitting theatres on December 25, 2009.

Now the Sherlock Holmes: The Mystery of the Mummy game will become available on the Nintendo DS on July 14, 2009.  The journey unfolds in London as Elizabeth Montcalfe tries to come to grips with the fact that her father, famed British archeologist Lord Montcalfe, committed suicide in a recent fire.  The main thing that makes moving on so difficult is that Elizabeth isn’t convinced by Scotland Yard’s findings regarding her father’s death – in fact, she suspects that he could even be alive!

Elizabeth is determined to uncover the truth and she enlists Sherlock Holmes to help her solve this mystery.  Their search takes them through the Montcalfe mansion and its many rooms which are packed full of Egyptian artifacts and treasures.
