Meet the Characters from the Upcoming Video Game, House M.D.

LOS ANGELES, CA (December 3, 2009) – Leading casual game developer and publisher Legacy Interactive® has released the character line up of the second game in its Hollywood Hits™ series, House M.D.

House M.D. places you in smack in the middle of all the drama and smart dialogue fans love from the popular TV show. Play as the surly Dr. House and the skilled staff at Princeton-Plainsboro Hospital, as you race to unravel 5 all-new medical mysteries. Your job is to diagnose unknown illnesses by interviewing and examining patients, analyzing lab tests and even performing surgery! With over 100 varieties of mind-bending puzzles and mini-games, House M.D. guarantees to entertain even the snarkiest player for hours.

Quotes from the game, House M.D.

House on patient care: “As far as you looking ‘normal,’ that’s something you and your plastic surgeon have to deal with. As for your condition, we’re going to check your signs and symptoms.”

Thirteen on discretion in an interview: “You mentioned seeing something white on her nose? Could you elaborate?”

Cameron on House’s antics: “Even if you’re right – which you’re not – why the hell would I go rooting around in someone else’s home? Those days are over, House.”

Wilson on House’s behavior: “We came dangerously close to getting caught in Cuddy’s office the other day, and I’m worried about what you might do next.”

Chase on being labeled the hunky doctor: “She ‘ranked’ me? I’m being ‘ranked’ by a fourteen year old?”

Cuddy on House as a friendship: “Okay, you’re his friend. Apparently, you can actually stomach him.”

Foreman on House’s language: “Are you just going to refer to us by “circus freakshow” names?”

Taub on relating to patients: “You know, uh… I was in a fraternity in college, and one time we painted ourselves blue.”

Need for Speed NITRO Launches New Facebook Game!

Need for Speed NITRO on Facebook makes its global social networking debut. Like it’s Wii and NDS inspiration, this new social application designed from the ground up for Facebook is a fun and interactive game that can be experienced by players and everyone in their social network. Compete against your friends, and other car lovers by collecting cars from all classes, and winning stars to unlock cities and complete the game. Improve “Driving Skills” on each car (shifting, drifting, drafting, cornering and evasion) and use NITRO-specific power ups to get the upper hand and take down rivals.

While this is not a replacement for the Wii or DS versions of the game, the free to play Need for Speed NITRO on Facebook, brings some of the favorite elements from the console game to the social media site. With full 3D models of the cars, along with the same great exotic cities and tracks, players and their friends will get a glimpse of what it feels like to compete and dominate on an international stage.

When Facebook users create their profile within the game, they’ll have a choice of all the same tags found in the Wii version of NITRO. This tag will represent the player to other opponents during the races. Prior to each race, they’ll choose a car from their garage and decide how much of each power-up to use (nitro, heat shield, and wrenches). They will then choose up to three opponents to compete against for the ultimate bragging rights, either with their Facebook friends or other players who have installed the app. Unlock more cities and cars as they take on more races.
