What the hell are you supposed to do in it? Find new and creative ways of making yourself not look like you're in late 40s?

Cheat on your husbands, perhaps?

Or maybe waste away your existance being stupid?

I don't know, most shows on TV are crap anyways.

Every time I see one of those Desperate Housewives cases in the game store, I die a little more inside.

There's a reason they're going for $20 bucks.
Spritely - for all your funny needs.
Total Immersion - for all your Pokemon-centric pseudo-romantic story needs.

Something for everyone!

Desperate Housewives: The Game - Reaching new levels of pathetic TV-show milking!

This is kinda like the video games for 24 and Pimp My Ride. Dumb TV networks trying to cash in on the video game industry.

I've never played 24, but I assume Jack isn't as badass in the game as he is in the show. Pimp My Ride just looks stupid. "Trick out a ride, then wreck it by driving aimlessly through the city!"

Anyway, I watched a preview of this game at an EBGames. Oh, the cutscenes are all motion acted by the actual TV show actors! Oh joy! By watching it, I never even got a subtle hint of what you do in the game. Kinda like they avoid it altogether...

I can see 24 translating into a coherent game, though. Just give people a series of tasks and a 24 hour timeframe to do it in, and you're got it. There's action, there's puzzle solving, and at least enough of a plot to get somewhere. As far as I can tell, Desperate Housewives is just The Sims with specific neighbors.

Some of you say it's pretty much a Sims rip-off, but I really hope it turns out to be a side-scrolling brawler, much like Mortal Kombat... Except with Desperate Housewives characters.

Stain is also pretty hot.

Maybe I'm thinking of a different show, but I don't know a lot of video game fans that watch Desperate Housewives. Seems like kind of a.. marketing mismatch. :d

I've played the demo and I went blind for a few minutes. It's the sims but you have to gossip on your neighbors. You even have a gossip meter. Plus it's nice to know that the women on the show have faces made of the same shrink wrap that packaged the game especially that crazy bee-hatch Marcia Cross! I remember her from Melrose Place with that crazy scar always shooting everybody like they owe her money. Prune faced biscut knubber...

...uh but yeah, the game sucks. It's aimed at a group that normally doesn't play videogames. Most people who watch DH are either picketing games because they make their kids curse and have unprotected premarital sex or they're makeup designers questin' for teh butt hurt.

...This game is weeeeeeak!

Not as bad as the NRA game but pretty damn close.

I give it a negative 69 out of 5. Should have been a hentai. I'm sure there's ppl jonesin for botox porn...well thanks to rule 34 there is now! I'm evil! HAHAHA!
