The Tudors coming to a 'casual adventure/hidden object game' near you

Seriously, the game is going to parallel the events of the show, and how does that make for a good casual game? Henry VIII was one of the most scandalous men in history, and the show features plenty of adult themes (including naked adults), so how can the show be made into a mass-appeal casual game? Lloyd Melnick, CCO of Merscom, says The Tudors' story not only appeals to the casual gamer, but that "the rich and beautiful graphical environment lends itself to an adventure game." We guess that environment won't include the king's chambers ...
No platforms have been announced yet, but we're placing our bets on at least the iPhone and PC.

Meh.
I bought a couple of those hidden object iphone games, based on good reviews......What a load of crap, simply tap your fingers all over the screen till it says you've found them all.
Lame.

How does one not see how awesome it would be to play as Henry VIII?

Although I would agree this game will probably suck.
If they really want to make a game based off of a Showtime show, pick Weeds. And include tons of naked Nancy parts.
It would sell faster than Tracy Jordan's video game.

Isn't this the BBC's show?

Don't know what you mean by that- BBC didn't produce it, but they acquired the rights to broadcast it after the second season. It's also on Showtime.

Jonathan Rhys Meyers shouldn't be featured in a shabby casual game :(

OMG this combines my wife's two most favourite things in the world. She will buy this the moment it come out. If this was on the Wii her brain would explode.

My girlfriend will like this for sure. She loves the Tudors and plays adventure/hidden object games like mystery case files and things like that. I'm interested.
