I tried to play their newer game Sherlock Holmes: Nemesis and have never had a game make me so sick ever. I was literally throwing up and in a cold sweat for hours after playing for about 45 minutes. I play lots of FPS’s with no problem, so there was something terribly wrong with their first person implementation.

After playing so many shooters…
I have an urge to play a good adventure game.

Stealth Cat: The Awakened would have been a far superior game, me thinks.

Watson sounds a little bit like Stealth Cat

This looks a lot like the venerable 8-bit game “Murder on the Mississippi”. In which case, I approve.

It was even better when you’d walk away backwards, facing him, seeing him get farther and farther away, until you couldn’t see him at all, then turn around and find that he was right behind you. HOW DID HE GET THERE?

@mirdza Don’t get your hopes up. On a related note, having to play this game (for a review) is what started me on the painful process of retraining from an inverted-mouse system to a direct-mapping movement system. Even though I’ve managed to learn how to use direct-mapped controls, I think that designers who omit a mouse-invert option need to have their interface design credentials revoked.

Stalker Watson is unintentionally hilarious.

I played this game, and hated it, but I too got a kick out of Watson stalking you. Thanks for the laugh, Mr. Walker.

Ah they’ve upped it into the same engine as Sherlock Holmes: Nemesis, which was ok.

Half Life – Source

Well, there is that thing called Black Mesa (Source). Coming out probably during this century!

Games that actually deserve a remastered edition
KOTOR 2- To restore all the content they had to delete.
Anachronox- To repair the bugs and boost the pretty and actually give us an ending.
Black and White- To add in actual content to what feels like an excellent tech demo.
Baldurs Gate 2 and Planescape – To add in full voice acting like in KOTOR
Half Life – Source

But this game? Really? This one?

That review of the “Watson Phenomoma” reminds me of the Consolevania review, which is very funny: http://www.archive.org/details/Consolevania-03×01-Consolevania-Towers

Nice to see games getting patched, I don’t think I’d be a fan of this particular adventure puzzle thing though.
