| Actual Crimes: Jack the Ripper

As one of the world's most famous unsolved crimes, basing a hidden object game on the Jack the Ripper crimes in late 1880s London makes some sort of sense.

Of course, how accurate the details of Actual Crimes: Jack the Ripper are is a matter of debate. Still, this is a PSP Minis game so let's not get too analytical about it.

A bloody tale

Actual Crimes: Jack the Ripper, from Virtual Playground, Gamers Digital and Sanuk Games, was originally released on PC and DSi as Real Crimes: Jack the Ripper, and has you visiting landmarks such as Piccadilly Circus and Buckingham Palace, searching crime scenes and solving mini puzzles as you hunt for clues.

Favourite solutions such as Jack being a doctor, a royal prince or a barber will be posited for your attention.

Actual Crimes: Jack the Ripper will be released in Europe as a PSP Mini for PSP and PlayStation 3 on September 1, priced € 3.99.
