I should have said there I didn't see any adventure games I would be interested in except maybe the Sherlock Holmes game you mention above. I bought several of them when they still sold them in stores where I am - such as Sherlock Nemesis, Jack the Ripper, The silver Earring, The Awakened. I think they had the same actor playing Sherlock and I liked his acting, plus the same Watson who I liked. I don't think Sherlock Holmes Testament game was the same actor playing Sherlock. maybe it was ok, I havent played it. I don't care for episodic games. But yes, you have to download all games now and takes a long time to download as I don't have a really fast speed package and too expensive to get a faster speed..
