Welcome to another GhostStorm Review and this time for HOUSE M.D., a game based on the Hit US tv show of the same name. HOUSE M.D. is a very popular tv show and one that I never really thought could be a great game also but, I was proven wrong.

You play through this game as a range of characters and even the whiteboard from the hit show makes several appearances. HOUSE M.D. still has that sarcastic yet funny attitude throughout the diagnostic stages and if you are a fan of the show like I am then you will instantly notice that his lines in this game would definitely be something he would say in the show.

There was however some annoyances, for me at least, it does not matter how many times you have done a certain procedure, such as take blood, you still get told what to do at the bottom of the screen. I looked around in the OPTIONS and did not see anyway of turning that off at all. Other than that the game was fun to play.

As you go through the game meeting all his wonderful patients you get to ask them questions that relate to what they are suffering from etc which helps you by getting you some points. So the more you stay on topic the better really but there is some times other questions that arise that you will ask but they are not always the correct ones.

The game also the similar graphics that would represent a comic book which is kind of cool but you can see that unlike a comic these graphics are the work of a photoshop artists as sometimes its clear that they are just photographs with a thick outline but anyway it has no effect on the great gameplay.

The game will have you thinking and changing your thoughts all the way through it, just like the TV show does and I don’t believe that I had one case of Lupus. On every major stage you go through you will also have to do some clinic duty which is also a great little addition.

This game is a great addition to the HOUSE collection for any fan of the show. This game deserves a high score and it’s going to get one below some shots from the game.

Score

This game gets an 8/10 because it doesn’t matter if you are doing a lumbar puncture or you are in the lab doing numerous other diagnostic procedures you really will enjoy this game and the humour. The game will also be available on the Nintendo DS but as of yet I do not have a date for it’s release so please keep your eyes on GhostStorm.

August 14, 2010 Steve Quinn

So you probably got used to using your regular controllers for your Wii, XBox 360 or PS3. That is what most people did and many of them never thought much of it either. Well these modders just couldn’t settle for standard, and they had to take matters in to their own hands to mod their controllers to do what they wanted them to do.

The following 17 game console controllers have been modded in ways which left them much different than their original forms.
