Gamer's Hell

The hardcore puzzler might find The Lost Cases of Sherlock Holmes a bit elementary...yes, I went there. But a casual gamer and certainly a younger sleuth will have a lot of fun with this game.

These games are enjoyable, but more for light, casual fun than an exercise in deep thinking. The interface is easy to navigate and the gameplay easy to understand.

Simple, but fun. It's a decent game that needs more depth. [Issue#9, p.60]
