NDS CBS Gets Serious About Games

CBS Consumer Products will bolster its video game lineup with new titles based on current primetime TV hits.

The new games for television's top-rated scripted drama NCIS and the CW's top reality series America's Next Top Model will be available on multiple platforms and through a variety of distribution channels. To bring these titles to life and give fans the best in new interactive content, CBS Consumer Products has signed global game development deals with Ubisoft and dtp young entertainment.

"These deals further expand our presence in the video game category," said Liz Kalodner, Executive Vice President and General Manager of CBS Consumer Products. "The games will allow fans to experience their favorite series in a new and interactive way."

Further details on the upcoming video game releases follows:

dtp young entertainment's America's Next Top Model Video Game

Take control of one of 10 aspiring models that compete in a variety of different categories including: 'Make Up', 'Fashion', 'Catwalk' and 'Photoshoot'. Following the same successful formula as the TV series, one model is dismissed each week following a special challenge; just make sure it's not you! Choose your outfits in a variety of ways to live out the model lifestyle; be it striking a pose for a photographer, keeping your walk timed perfectly on the catwalk, or making sure your make-up is a match for the occasion. Talk to the other models in the apartment and get tips from your coach to help your performance during the week, and then test your knowledge of the fashion industry in front of the panel each week to secure your place in the next round. America's Next Top Model launched June 1st in the US (distributed by Conspiracy) on both Nintendo DSTM and WiiTM with Canadian and Australian versions available later this year. The Australian version will be titled after the local series format, Australia's Next Top Model.

  • NCIS ay? That could be interesting- expecially with Ubi at the rains, though they are really touch and go with series. For the most part I think it could be done right- but we all know its either going to be a generic shooter, or a game which tries to hard.
