Gamertell Review: House, M.D., for Windows

Everyone’s favorite snarky doctor is back, this time in PC form.

House M.Dlets you solve cases and diagnose patients, all while making rude comments to your staff and patients and annoying Dr. Cuddy.

Gamertell Preview: House, M.D. for Windows PC

Legacy Interactive and Glyphic Entertainment are currently working House, M.D., a casual PC and DS game based on the TV series of the same name. I was fortunate enough to get some hands on time with the Windows PC version of the game, which will be released in September, 2010, to coincide with the new season. So let’s take a look at what the virtual House cases are like.

Much like the actual TV series, the cases in House, M.D. are separated into episodes. After exploring the main menu, it looks like you can return to any of the five episodes at any time, after you’ve completed one. Since this was my first time playing I decided to just start fresh with a new game and Episode 1: Globetrotting.

An episode of the House M.D. game begins and proceeds much like an episode from the TV show. An old man named Henry Richter, host of the show Globetrotting!, is just finishing an episode in Malaysia when he falls ill…

House MD game making house calls, sorta

Finally, my favorite TV show House MD is being made into a video game! Unfortunately it is only a mobile phone game, but it’s a start.

House MD the mobile game was created by Exelweiss, a Spaniard based company, and was published by Mobiground. I’m not sure of the exact date it came out, because most of the info for the game is in Spanish and not clear, but it looks like it came out in April. It’s a graphic adventure game that allows you to roam around the Princeton-Plainsboro and freely talk to people about your case.

E3 2009: House M.D. and Murder, She Wrote are getting virtual counterparts

Legacy Interactive recently created some casual games based on classic teen movies Clueless, Pretty in Pink and Mean Girls. Now, the company has announced at E3 2009 that it is teaming up with Universal Pictures Digital Platforms Group to create games based on TV series. Get ready for House M.D. for the PC and DS and Murder, She Wrote for the PC. Release dates aren’t available for either game.

The House M.D. game will allow players to solve five cases with House, Taub and Thirteen. The press release doesn’t mention if Foreman or Kutner will be appearing, but I sincerely hope both characters show up. The goal of the game is to do what the team does in the show, diagnose patients who have unknown and mysterious diseases. Since it will also be a DS release, I’m guessing there’ll be some sort of touch screen controls or medical puzzles implemented. Seems like it will be a more serious mystery game.

On the other hand, Murder, She Wrote sounds like a leisurely, casual romp…
