Real Crimes: Jack the Ripper (Nintendo DS)

Real Crimes: Jack the Ripper is the latest "hidden object" game to hit DSiWare. Like Where's Waldo?, Looksley's Line Up or Mystery Case Files: MillionHeir, its core gameplay is built on challenging your eyes -- you're given a set of flat, static environments filled with items blending into the scenery and you've got to visually determine where a specific few pictures are trying to hide.

You might be given an exterior shot of a large church building, for example, and asked to find such out-of-place things as a fish, an umbrella and a pair of needlenose pliers somewhere within the image -- and, sure enough, they'll be there, hidden underneath an overhang of the architecture, or blending in with the skyline. You track them down, tap them with the stylus and try to find every object on your list before times runs out.

An optional Rookie Mode makes things easier by removing the countdown clock, so anyone who just wants to play through the story will be able to at a leisurely pace -- the plot follows a couple of detectives in late 1800's London trying to solve the mystery of the infamous killer Jack the Ripper, discovering clues and finding suspects.
