Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper Continues Legendary Feud on Xbox 360

March 20, 2009 1:51 PM

Having already transcended the boundaries of fact and fiction, Sherlock Holmes and Jack the Ripper are no longer bound by platform either, as the once PC exclusive adventure Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper is now being ported to Xbox 360.

The Xbox 360 rendition is being handled by Spiders Games. As the name implies, the forthcoming release pits one of the world's most famed detectives against one of history's most notorious serial killers--a true showdown for the ages.

The PC version, developed by Frogwares Studio, hits Europe in May, a revelation celebrated with the several new screenshots above, and should arrive in North America come summer. As for the Xbox 360 release, there's no word yet on a timeframe.

The real question is, what (or who) is next? Holmes has already faced off against a mummy and Cthulu in Frogwares' games. Of course... there's always Godzilla.

    Well I should actually change that. I haven't played modern point and click adventure games. But I went through all the monkey islands, Grim Fandango, the first Sam and Max, etc. But never myst or those. I did get half way through syberia.

  There's The Lost Files of Sherlock Holmes: The Case of the Serrated Scalpel (1992).
  It's a pretty awesome game.
