Fall Games Guide 2009

Platforms: PC

Release Date: October 15

A lighthearted game of "whodunit" becomes the backdrop for a devious plot in this hidden-object hunt based on the book by the legendary crime writer. Can you help famed detective Poirot sort it all out?

Why It's Hot:

Agatha Christie and seek-and-find object hunting? Talk about the perfect match. Sharp graphics bring the game's nearly 50 different locations to life. With loads of mind-benders thrown in for good measure, it's clearly a mystery worth solving.

Why It's Not:

We're all for literary tie-ins, but hidden-object games are less about story and more about staring intently at the screen until your eyes glaze over. Keeping Agatha Christie's great tale alive will be key to this hunt's success.

Did You Know?

Christie detective Hercule Poirot has been tackled by actors like Tony Randall, Alfred Molina, and even House star Hugh Laurie (in Spice World, but hey, that counts!)
