This new Sherlock is slightly older, and when we first see him in Crimes & Punishments, he’s in desperate need of a shave. Finally, Sherlock Holmes has caught up with the times. The once gentlemanly adventure-game star is now a deceitful amalgam of Arthur Conan Doyle’s original character and the 21st-century interpretation we find on television and in movies. He’s a bit disheveled, sneakier, and has the ability to stop time as he scours a person’s appearance for clues. LOS ANGELES - The Sherlock Holmes you see in developer Frogwares’ new game Crimes & Punishments isn’t quite the aloof character that author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle created.
