    Which Sherlock Holmes games are worth a play?

    The Hound of the Baskervilles is a hidden object game with a Sherlock Holmes wrapper. Personally I didn't think much of it but then HOGs aren't my thing. As regards the other Frogware Sherlock Holmes titles, you'll find plenty of opinions here...

    GOG.com

    It's a few years since I played this game so my memories have started to fade. I remember enjoying the story and the setting but the combat is fairly standard basic hack-and-slash. Overall I definitely enjoyed the experience and it took me 26 hours to complete, but I'm fairly slow and...

    What game are you wasting time on?

    From memory I think it just reduces (or maybe even removes) the randomness of the combat encounters on the old mine road.

    RPGs with gold/silver/copper coins system

    Avernum: Escape From the Pit has gold, silver and copper coins, although when you you pick them up they are automatically converted into a value in gold. I think the Avadon series had the same mechanics but that may be my memory playing tricks.

    GOG.com

    For anyone wondering, GOG stated in the sales thread that: - Games that are already discounted in the sale won't get a deeper discount in a 24 hour flash deal later in the sale. - Games in 24 hour flash deals will remain on sale at a lower discount after the flash deal ends.

    Epic Games Store - the console war comes to PC

    Please tell me you're not seriously suggesting that you think the reason most games appear just on Steam but not GOG, is that GOG refused to release them?
