Child’s Play?
“Desperate Housewives” is no longer just restricted to our tv sets. There’s a new review of the “Desperate Housewives: The Game” for the PC over at GameSpot.com. Even before I read the review, I saw the screenshots from the game and thought, “Wow, that looks just like ‘The Sims’.” Even the reviewer mentions the eerie similarities. The interactions are similar, as are some of the game’s goals and mini-games. The basic idea is your character is a new neighbor on Wisteria Lane and you have a secret past (of course!). You interact with the other ‘wives, but ultimately the story is about you. It sounds interesting, if a little silly. But the reviewer does mention that is part of the appeal. After all, “Desperate Housewives” itself is a little on the silly side, and that’s what makes it so delicious to watch. So if you ever played “The Sims” and loved it or if you’re in the mood for some guilty-pleasure-style fun on the PC, pick up a copy at your nearest electronics store. I have to admit, it does sound interesting.
Also coming to a store near you, “Desperate Housewives” dolls. Created by Madame Alexander, these Barbie-sized beauties will be featured in Fashion Doll Quarterly’s spring 2007 issue. Looking at the dolls, I can’t see where they truly resemble the characters. The Bree doll is the most recognizable simply because she’s the only Housewife with red hair. But think of the clothes. I think that’s where the market are with these pint-sized cuties. Another concern: who are these dolls for? Adult fans of the show who are also doll collectors? Or for small girls who shouldn’t even know what “Desperate Housewives” is yet? Interesting.
