Play as Dr. House and the skilled staff at Princeton-Plainsboro hospital, as you race to unravel 5 medical mysteries. Based on the popular TV show, experience what it is like to conduct patient care while successfully solving unique medical cases. Every bit of evidence reveals a piece of the solution, so careful observation and analysis is key. The clock is ticking, but be prepared for multiple twists and turns before you solve the case!
The Lost Cases of Sherlock Holmes. vol. 2
Travel back to the mysterious world of Sherlock Holmes in the highly anticipated sequel, More Lost Cases of Sherlock Holmes, vol. 2. There are sixteen new unsolved crimes of murder, theft, kidnapping and more! The graphic style will romantically recreate the late Victorian England time period down to the smallest details, to inspire the detective in you. The game’s afoot.
Murder, She Wrote
Based on the beloved TV show, join Jessica Fletcher to solve 5 murder mysteries in sleepy (but lethal) Cabot Cove. The police of the town are always willing to arrest the most likely suspect, but as fans know, the culprit is never who you think it is. Each case is enriched with twists and turns that create a fun and surprising gameplay experience.
Ghost Whisperer
Ghost Whisperer: Shadowlands will debut on the PC and include characters and themes from the hit television series. Players will take on the role of Melinda Gordon, a young woman living in Grandview, who has inherited the gift of being able to see and communicate with the dead. These earthbound spirits have unfinished business in our world preventing them from "crossing over" into the light. While trying to live as normal a life as possible with her paramedic husband, Jim, and as an owner of the antiques shop, Same As it Never Was, Melinda helps ghosts find resolution and pass over to the other side.
All five games are currently being localized into Russian language and planned for release in the 1st quarter of 2010.
