If you recognize the above pictured pair as reality TV stars (and not just goobers at a Halloween party), then you should stop reading this post right now and just go read US Magazine or something. If you don't recognize them, we'll explain that Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt, stars of MTV's The Hills, let slip recently that they're collaborating with EA on a video game version of their, like, totally drama-filled lives.
Not many details were spilled on what Pratt called the "top-secret" game, but he did mention to US Magazine that the game would let players work against the popular pair if they want to. "You can even torture me," Pratt said in a quote sure to excite reality-TV-haters everywhere.
Pratt expects the game to come out in two versions -- "the adult version and the one for minors" -- around Christmas 2009. And really, if you can't trust reality TV stars for your video game release dates, who can you trust?

I don't watch MTV either, but you'd have to be living in a closet to never have heard of this show. Nicely done!

I for one am glad I don't know who these two dolts are.
They look like a couple of saps.

The only way to make this news better? To have Tiger Electronics hold a press release stating they will bundle it with the Pimp My Ride game for the Game.com 2.0.

If there were ever a time when I would actually use this term, it would be right now. That guy is the definition of a DOUCHE BAG.

Isn't a Virtual Reality Show a little moronic, er uh, oxymoronic?

It's basically a script-creating tool that tells you what to do every day; comes bundled with a camera, too.
I'm surprised this news only just broke though, Paris Hilton's been testing it for years.

Seriously, who would buy this?
Yes, I've seen the show, yes it is as awful as you think it would be.
But honestly, it's a ratings-grabber for MTV, but the demographic would have to be like 14 year old girls. Correct me if I'm wrong, but not many 14 year old girls own Xbox 360s.
I think they'll be hard pressed to find an suitable gaming audience for this one.

I think they're banking on the 40-year old guys who pretend to be 14-year old girls in chat rooms. The have to watch The Hills for like, y'know, research.

I'm not sure where it says "for Xbox 360" ... but kudos for you for getting inside info.
If anything, this would be a DS game probably. Maybe Wii.
We're talking casual game market for watchers of this show.

I'm i the only one that's tired of seeing a bunch of Caucasian blondes (Male or Female) on T.V. talking about nothing important?
Because everytime i turn the channel to MTV or MTV2. That's all i see. It never changes.

Yeah, the TVs at my gym are constantly tuned to MTV and it's always either the Master Race or a bunch of Jersey Guidos and their fake-tanned, fake-titted hoes.
