3D screens pan out for Sherlock Holmes

A natural limitation of screenshots is that they don't do justice to 3D games. Unless, of course, you make the screenshots 3D as well, which is exactly what Focus Home Interactive and Panogames have done with a new gallery of images from Sherlock Holmes versus Arsène Lupin.

In the fourth Sherlock Holmes adventure from Frogwares, currently available in English only through digital download, the great detective must match wits with the gentleman thief Arsène Lupin, creation of French writer Maurice Leblanc. In this battle of the minds, Lupin challenges Holmes to prevent him from stealing five precious items from prestigious locations around London, including the National Gallery, the British Museum, the Tower of London and Buckingham Palace.

The 3D images visit some of these historic locations, and can be viewed online at the Panogames website. Two of the panoramic scenes are available as a 7 MB download for both PC and Mac. To pan around the scenes, simply click and hold the mouse and move the cursor in the direction you wish to view. The images can also be zoomed in and out by clicking the "+" and "-" icons.
