Why, it’s elementary my dear Adventuress- New Sherlock Holmes game

There has been bits and pieces of news flying around about a new game from Frogwares Development Studio and Focus Home Publishing about a detective who can figure out just about any case thrown at him. That detective’s name? Why, it’s Sherlock Holmes. And who is he up against this time? Well, none other than Arsène Lupin, who happens to be a burglar from France. And the name of that game? Well it has ingeniously been entitled Sherlock Holmes versus Arsène Lupin. Such glamor… such grace!

Here’s a piece of the story from the official website:

…This battle of wits between the most famous detective of all time and the world’s greatest thief takes us to late 19th century London. Arsène Lupin is a young French burglar at the beginning of a glittering career, who comes to town with one goal – defy Scotland Yard and Sherlock Holmes. He states that he will steal five objects of immense value in five days from prestigious sites such as the National Gallery, the British Museum, the Tower of London and even Buckingham Palace! Sherlock Holmes must use all his daring and ingenuity to avoid a terrible humiliation for England.

Those French burglar’s are always so tricky! And cocky! But I’m pretty sure that Sherlock Holmes will come out on top. In a not kinky way – at least I don’t think so. You never know what game developers will come up with to keep us coming back for more.

And look, after a quick YouTube search, you can even find a trailer!

The game should be out sometime before the year ends, so if you’re a Sherlock Holmes fan, ask your loved ones for this game as a Christmas present. Who knows… they might actually listen and fill your stocking with this game instead of cole and dirt like they usually do. Jerks.
