Don't worry. Be grumpy.

Did the world really need another example of a friendless grumpy genius who magically solves all our problems?

Frankly, I was happier with Hugh Laurie as the bumbling buffoon, as he tended up be on UK TV before hitting the big time in the US as House M.D.

Anyhow, I-play has signed up European rights to make a mobile game based on the activities of the good doctor.

As tends to be the case with such games, it takes a somewhat lateral approach, with you taking the role of House as he solves grid and icon-based puzzles to find cures to the strange diseases affecting his patients.

To help the process, you can assign Foreman, Thirteen, and Taub to complete diagnostic tests. Your goal is to complete your cases as quickly as possible.

There are four levels of difficulty, each of which adds extra icons and grids to the puzzling.
