In a press release today, Merscom Games announced that it is developing a casual game based on the CBS series Diagnosis: Murder. The downloadable game, expected to be available in late 2010, will be published for both Windows-based PCs and Macintoshes.
In the game, the player is a young doctor who helps Dr. Sloan solve a series of murders. The game uses classic hidden object gameplay coupled with adventure elements.
Merscom Games is also the publisher of another tie-in series game, Blood Ties based on the Lifetime paranormal drama Blood Ties, which features private investigator Vicki Nelson and is based on the novels by Tanya Huff.
Another CBS series getting a casual game is Criminal Minds. Last week, Legacy Interactive announced they have signed a licensing agreement with CBS Consumer Products to develop a video game based on the popular crime drama series.
In the Criminal Minds game, players delve into the criminal mind with clever puzzles and immersive hidden object gameplay. The game will include characters and themes taken directly from the hit television series. In the game, fans will be able to take on the role of different members of the Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU) to solve a series of five shocking crimes. In order to track down the killers and solve each case, players will need to examine crime scenes for clues, interview witnesses and suspects, analyze evidence and build a profile based on real-life criminal profiling techniques.
The release date of the Criminal Minds games is also expected to be late 2010.
A Legacy Interactive casual game based on the CBS series Murder, She Wrote is scheduled for release this month.
