Middle-aged, single women rejoice: Your video game prayers have been answered. A Desperate Housewives game will be on store shelves by September, and it will be packed with all the juicy things the very gender-progressive industry knows you've been craving in an interactive experience:

"As fans of the show would expect, the game is loaded with gossip, betrayal, murder and sex you know, all the things women like," says Mary Schuyler, the producer of the title at Buena Vista Games. [...]

Scott Sanford Tobis, one of the TV series' writers, was tapped to script the game. "I want players to feel like they've found a bonus episode of the show," Tobis says. "In fact, it's more like eight separate TV episodes; I wrote about 13,000 lines of dialogue for this game."

Before moving into the neighborhood with your husband and son, you customize the look of your housewife by selecting from hundreds of facial features, body types and clothing options.

Just like the real life actresses did! And that's not the only feature that lets you reenact the real Housewives experience. Internet gamer boards are already posting cheat codes to the secret level right after you kill level 8 boss Alfre Woodard, where a Teri Hatcher Sim pulls the virtual director aside and complains about how your character's arc is shifting the focus away from hers.
