Are you going to hunt for a killer or become one?

Starting on the Xbox One for the entire month of March gamers will be able to download Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishment. This game developed by Frogwares has you walking in the shoes of Sherlock as you work towards solving six different cases. Crimes and Punishment also allows you to follow through the case as you would want to giving you the freedom to follow different leads, interrogate those you suspect, and pick who you believe is guilty. This game might also get you excited for the next title in the series Sherlock Holmes: The Devils Daughter that will be released May 27th on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.

When you're done playing detective you can get your hands a bit dirty in Lords of the Fallen which will be available from March 16th to April 15th. In ancient times the evil God was overthrown by humans who dictated a new world order where no sin can ever be forgiven. Now in present time a demonic legion has come to feed on the spirits of the innocents it's up to Harkyn, a convicted sinner, to travel to the darkness and face off against the Lords of the Fallen. This RPG brings with it a fun melee system where your own equipment affects your opponents speed and attacks.
