$8 an episode added up is only $40! For DSiWare game! Sign me up!

Spoiler

Does anybody else think this looks like a $1 app store game?

they did release a ds game House M.D and on the PC. I gues it wasnt worth to be a full fledged game and hence broke it into bits

Is this the same as the EU version?

I played the EU one and found it rather fun,
the developers kept House's witty remarks alive.

Interesting... I find myself morbidly curious. If nothing else, it reminds me to watch the episode from Monday I have sitting on my DVR.

This looks like bad homebrew.

This looks like bad homebrew.

I agree, it seems like the publisher could cover their development budget with one download.
At a total cost of $40 this company should be charged with theft.

Edit: Found out some more about this game. It was a 2010 retail release in Europe and Australia and cancelled in the US. This episodic DSiware game, based on the description, is exactly the same as the European retail edition -- except that it's more expensive. Unbelievable.

Oh yeah, it has a Metacritic score of 23, about half of Elf Bowling's score (ouch).

Gonna' bitch about Fox News covering a tornado?

Tornados are bad and hurt people, so Fox shouldn't be covering them, am I right?

Ironically I got to play this game for about an hour today, I am a huge fan of the show and the game does seem to capture some of the charm.

As a fan of the show I would give the game a 50% not bad but not super fun either...

If you don't like the TV show avoid this game like the plague its honestly pretty bad.

I would not pay $40 dollars for it...

A fine example of paid homebrew!
Oh and what's "Ikki please correct mii" supposed to mean?
