CBS bringing Diagnosis Murder, some other stuff to gaming platforms

November 4th, 2009 at 06:00am Under Xbox 360

CBS announced today that it’s bringing a wide array of its TV programming to the video game world, mainly via the PC, Wii and DS. As you can see after the break, the company revealed equally insipid-sounding game versions of Survivor, Hollywood Squares, The Amazing Race, and Criminal Minds, but we don’t see how we’re supposed to care about any of it when it was also revealed that a Diagnosis Murder game is in the works.

We’re assuming it’s a Visceral-developed “dark” take on the DM mythos, with a Gothic Dr. Mark Sloan walking a demonic version of Los Angeles, solving murder mysteries with a caduceus-shaped staff dipped in angel blood.

Alvin & the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel game tie-in coming in early December

October 29th, 2009 at 05:00am Under DS

If there’s one wonderful thing we can say about movie game trailers, it’s that they keep us on top of what’s happening with the kids these days. Take for instance Alvin & the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel — we didn’t even know there was a second film coming out!

What we can glean from the trailer above is that there will be some form of illicit chipmunk love affair angle to the film that will play into the game’s story. Also, it may or may not be music-rhythm game of some form. As you can imagine, we were so entranced by the slurry of colors and sounds that it was hard to discern any clear information. We did discover, however, that the game will be coming to the Nintendo Wii and DS on December 1.
