Plus more from Outside Xbox.

If you haven't immediately closed your browser, uninstalled your operating system and thrown your computer on a fire, you are exactly the kind of discerning reader who will appreciate Show of the Week featuring Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments. We're assured the game is not nearly as rubbish as previous Holmes games, and it certainly looks prettier with its fancy Unreal Engine visuals.

That's all from us for this week, but if you're looking for regular videos about games, you could do worse than subscribing to the Outside Xbox YouTube channel.
