Some of the game features are:

• a plentiful brute types to choose with different hair styles, hair color, skin color, eye color, clothing, armor and gender. Those can be chosen randomly
• you can name your own brute using names between 3 and 32 characters long. You can chose a simple name, your real name like this one or a more wacky name like this one
• a brute has four attributes: health, speed, agility and strength
• a brute can have up to 26 weapons and 3 pets. A brute has also 28 skills to learn
• for each win a brute gains experience 2 points; for each lost fight a brute gains 1 experience point
• when a brute upgrades to a new level, receives a weapon, a pet, a skill or improvement of one of the attributes

My brute, is a simple game and was created more like for casual gamers. One reason for that is that you don't actually fight, but you watch your brute fighting. But it's funny 'though.

Sherlock Holmes vs Jack the Ripper - preview

Developer: Frogwares
Release year: 2009
Genre: Adventure, first person and third person point and click

Year 1888, Autumn. Whitechapel. Drunk men, illegal dealers, ill people, policemen, prostitutes for everyone, a little too used 'thou, are wondering on the gray foggy cold and dark streets. Great atmosphere, I might say. A crime took place, a prostitute was killed and Sherlock Holmes can't retain from doing a little research.

Features:

• you can play from first person and third person perspective
• you can play from both Sherlock perspective and Watson's
• like other games from this series you have to make to draw conclusions using several clues. Now you have a 'Deduction Board' that helps you reproduce the context of the murders

I have played the demo, game looks promising, I might play this one, although I kind of dislike Sherlock Holmes' calm.
