Customer Review: Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened
This was a lot of fun ( and enough of a challenge )to play this game. It's not the type that you'd want to re-play - at least not for quite a while. There is no way you could play this game without a "walkthrough" which can be downloaded through some googling effort. The puzzles are far too obtuse to be solved intuitively. Even with the "walkthrough", a certain degree of intelligence is required. The main thing that the buyer should know, and be "OK" with, is that this version is the original version (not the RE-MASTERED version) and hence is not equipped with the built-in help and clue system. That is why, of course, this item was so cheap. Overall, well worth the money, and highly recommended.
Customer Review: Eh.
The title describes my reaction to this game. I enjoyed playing it, BUT I also could have done without it. It was a little too dark and sinister for me with gory scenes, and cultish themes. Of course, I expected that with the M raiting. The graphics are not too great, but they do. The story line is interesting and most of the puzzles are challenging, except that (as other reviewers have mentioned) the game is way too linear. The most annoying part about that was that I could not pick up certain items I needed later until I recieved a certain clue. And the linear play made the puzzles less challenging because the cursor basically guided you in what to do next.

X CLAMP REMOVAL

The guide will be explaining how to remove the X clamps from the motherboard and will show you how to fix the heat sinks without them. The motherboard consists of two processors, one the CPU and the other GPU. Both the processors will have their own heat sinks to cool them. The problem here is that these heat sinks do not provide enough air flow to the processors and causes overheating that in turn results in the RRoD. Hence by removing these X clamps we can provide more air flow to the processors. So we need to work on the frame which holds the entire motherboard so that the heat sinks are fixed without the X clamps.
