Sherlock Holmes vs Jack the Ripper vs 360 in NA this March

Adventure game Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper will take a stab at North American retail this March. Released last year in Europe, the console port of the PC game has the fictional detective on the trail of the real-world 19th-century serial killer.

Hey, while we're messing with fiction, reality, history and time, why not have Holmes team up with Doctor Who and Sam Beckett? He can change history for the better, putting right what once went wrong and bringing Beckett one step closer to his leap home. Actually ... that's not bad. Hands off, video game industry! We're saving that idea for Joystiq Publishing's still-looking-for- 2011 release list.

Fight: Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper Nov. 26 in Europe

Thanks to the elementary practice of the "press release," we've deduced that adventure game Sherlock Holmes versus Jack the Ripper will be available November 26 in Europe on Xbox 360. The console port of the PC title will allow players to catch the action in third-person for a "cinematic perspective," or first-person ... for that classic Sherlock Holmes shooter feel?

We're currently following up to find out when (if) this will get a release across the pond in the colonies.

Sherlock Holmes & Jack the Ripper bring the fight to Xbox

Xav de Matos — Sun, 22 Mar 2009 12:00:00 EST

Sherlock Holmes is bringing the fight to legendary slasher Jack the Ripper on the Xbox 360. According to Shacknews, the upcoming adventure game is currently in development for the console by Spiders Games and will pit the world-famous detective against the heinous serial-killer.

A PC version of Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper (developed by Frogwares Studio) has already seen a release in Europe and should ship Stateside sometime in the summer. What will happen when Holmes squares off against Jack? We're hoping for the camera to pullout to reveal the entire adventure was a setup for a Mortal Kombat style fighter. Or maybe that's a bad idea.
