Popular TV soap opera to be given the video game treatment courtesy of Britsoft publisher?
MCV understands that UK publisher Eidos has secured the video game rights to leading BBC soap opera Eastenders.
The title is reportedly being handled by Eidos’ casual games division, which typically works on both DS and mobile phone titles.
Though no details are yet known about the forthcoming title, the odds are that the publisher would favour a Sims-style simulation game based around the antics of the Albert Square population.
A spokesperson for Eidos told MCV: “We do not comment on rumour and speculation.”

no brainer this one
**** tv 'drama' turned into **** video game.
Re: no brainer this one
I've been saying for years how the subject matter of EastEnders lends itself so perfectly to videogames.
I foresee a range of mini games for the Wii based loosely on bad things that happen in London, and cafes.
Or perhaps a really, really depressing take on The Sims?
Re: no brainer this one
Wow really? I guess I buy it, because I like Eastenders.
Re: no brainer this one
If this is a success I dread to think what will else will be considered suitable for adapting to the world of 'casual gaming'…
The Antiques Roadshow, Richard & Judy, Points Of View… I'm sure they could scrape enough 'casual' ideas out of any of those to make a 'casual game'.
Re: no brainer this one
What genre will this be? Shout 'em up? rar rar rar playing game? real time slapergy?
Re: no brainer this one
i just cannot even think how this show would work as a game. hell i don't know how it works as a show, just seems to be a bunch of losers sleeping with each others partners and shouting at each other
Re: no brainer this one
Oi oi, now this may not work as a game, but as a television show it's solid gold, got that? :-)
