That's Dr Gregory, as in "pithy sarcastic Fox Network-style House" not, er, your hovel
On the long long list of television shows that need to be turned into videogames...

...you'd probably find House quite far down the list, somewhere just above "Come Dine with Me" and below "The Jeremy Kyle Show". Still, someone somewhere thought it would be a good idea - so Dr Greg, and the delectable Cuddy, we hope, are headed to the iPhone and iPod Touch.

The game splices together the heady aromas of surgery with, er, match-three puzzle gaming, clue solving and some hilarious cut scenes obviously recorded while the cast were off their heads on booze and pills.

It'll probably retail for around the Ł4.99 mark, so cheaper than an individual episode costs from the iTunes store. Bonus.

Alright then, favourite House quotes in the box below. GO!

House is quite high up the list, for me.

The detective-drama nature of the show lends itself well to point-and-click, plus Trauma Centre has already established medicine-gaming as legit.

Plus House is awesome. How awesome? Rather a lot.

Your proposal of a Jeremy Kyle game fascinates me, however. Oh, the possibilties.

You know what really needs making into a game, though: Extreme Home Makeover. Yes. You wants it.

I wouldn't be surprised to find out there was one already, for the DS or Wii.

As NY says, House is indeed awesome and I have a total man-crush on him.

As for whether a videogame of the show will work, will who knows but let's hope it's better than the one they did of Dexter.

Well, it's on the iPhone, so I guess we can expect it to have all the quality of Robbie Williams racing.

Which I haven't played, but I think we can expect that to have all the quality of a turd.

Still loving this. Perfect antidote for bloated games. Arcade games FTW! :-)

Still need to finish the first Saw. Got stuck on an utter bastard of a puzzle (time limit, it wasn't a mind bender)). T'was mostly shite, but it almost got a few things right....
