Thanks to Sagatron for sending in his review for Agatha Christie!  Remember, any reviews you have for games, just drop them in an email to tips at purenintendo.com and we’ll be sure to post it!

Introduction:

This game is a one-player point-and-click murder mystery based on the Agatha Christie’s novel by the same name. If you’re a fan of Agatha’s storytelling and have read the novel first published back in 1939, you might be asking yourself why you would want to play this game when you already know the ending.
