Grey's Anatomy operating on PC, Wii, DS in 'early 2009'

check out the whole, educational gallery
We'll be honest: we fell asleep during anatomy class. But we knew our destiny was in video game blogging, not cutting people (and/or frogs) open. The plus side: some extra Zs, preparation for those all-night Skate or Die sessions. The downside: we still don't know what "lungs" are. Oh well ...
But imagine this: Today's youngsters won't even need school anymore! As if hit educational television shows like Grey's Anatomy weren't enough to teach kids all about the human body, ABC has partnered with the game craftsmen at Ubisoft to deliver all of that education in an interactive, video game format. Now, as rumored, high school dropouts can learn all about anatomy on the PC, Wii, or DS platforms in "early 2009" (that's now!).
[Ed: This blogger has never seen Grey's Anatomy and, truthfully, isn't really sure what it's about.]

Indeed. Though I don't think this game will be *educational* in that sense.
To Christopher Grant,
Grey's Anatomy is a soap opera involving love triangles, and drama set in a hospital. At least that's what I gathered from the first forty-two episodes.
It's actually kinda good.

ROFLOMGLOLBBQ!
This...is...going...to be freaking awesome!!!!

I rather have a Scrubs game but thinking about it I rather have none of them.
If there is a game based on a sit-com that I would like to see that would be Frasier or Seinfeld. Something like Sam & Max would be funny.

No, Scrubs anything would kick ass. I'd buy it anyway.
New season is now on tv/torrent!!!
PastaGabe @ Jan 7th 2009 9:59PM
Oh Yeah!!!
Can't wait!
I'm being serious now...lol
I really love Scrubs, I wish it never ends!

There are people that cut people open and still they not attended or paid attention during anatomy class.
They are called Psychopaths and/ or unlicensed Doctors.

Ubisoft makes more licensed shovelware?
Color me surprised.

But you're already red.

You laugh, but this is going to be the best FPS of the decade.

I want a Scrubs game.
Make it happen, ABC.

Next thing you know Dr. House is in the desert helping terrorists deal with 50 cent...

FUND IT!!!

this game seems awful...ly familiar. Maybe I should visit my local TRAUMA CENTER and see whether or not I need a SECOND OPINION over going UNDER THE KNIFE for some NEW BLOOD
offday @ Jan 7th 2009 7:33PM
Yeah. I don't know why they are basing the game off grey's anatonmy though. They don't even operate in the show. It's just about a bunch of horny doctors messing around with each other.
offday @ Jan 7th 2009 7:32PM
Sorry, but I'm calling super ghey on this one.
Superstar90 @ Jan 7th 2009 9:33PM
Because there are gay characters in it?
Or because you think it's cool to use gay as a diss?

Because I think it's cool to use gay as a diss.
Calm down mr. gay rights. I have gay friends. I don't hate on gay people.

My father's GAY!!
...
Not that there's anything wrong with that!!

I don't know who the publisher/developer of this game is, but they need to seriously reconsider their hiring practices, find the people who conceived and greenlit this idea and beat them within an inch of their lives. While what I know about consumer demographics could fit on the head of a pin and my doctorate is in law, I venture to guess that while the 18 to 40 something single female demographic that makes the bulk of the audience for that show may enjoy the occaision game of Wii bowling- but that is absolutely not going to translate to sales of this game that exceed 40,000 copies. The larger question is: how do I apply for the job of the chick or dude who is going to be fired?

First a book, then a tv series, and now a game?
To be honest I prefer the book over the tv show, but then I know some medical students (females) who prefer the tv show. I'm not saying I love the book (a lot to learn - exam time is now!!!!) but I just don't like the show.
Give me a House MD game and then we'll talk. Using the wiimote to beat hit people with the cane, performing an MRI scan, followed by a tracheotomy, followed by open heart surgery (they really must use botox because they look too young to know how to do all this stuff) using the wiimote.
Then at night, you and Cameron go back to her place, and you use the wiimote to... never mind eh.
Jess Q. @ Jan 7th 2009 9:26PM
Man, I shipped the crap out of House/Cameron back in the day (first season). I can't even watch that show regularly anymore, though. The new ducklings suck balls.
Unbelievably, this may be the nerdiest thing I've ever posted about on here.
Wiinterfang @ Jan 7th 2009 9:00PM
I think I'm going to puke.
Godstine @ Jan 7th 2009 9:06PM
I'm still pissed at them for firing Hahn. Anddd generally being unbearably bad after season 2.

THE WORLD IS ENDING!

God no, no, oh, oh, no, please. It's bad enough I have to sit through this occasionally because my girlfriend likes it. I bet she would buy this. Please, god, no.
For crissakes, one of the broads on this show has been seeing her stupid dead husband for a bunch of episodes now, and he's real or something, and this show just makes my brain hurt, god please, no.

Seinfeld, the adventure game...
