jpg” />If all goes according toplan, fans of the desperate housewives on Wisteria Lane will be able to live out their soap opera dreams on their PCsbefore the TV show’s canceled.

Disney (which owns the ABC television network that distributes DesperateHousewives in the States) has set its Buena Vista Games division to publish a PC-based adaptation of the sudsySunday-night staple this fall.

While negotiations are underway to secure additional cast members torepresent themselves in-game (they’ve only gotten the deceased housewife narrator on-board so far), we hope thislicense works out better than the recent video game adaptations such as 24: The Game, Alias, andDark Angel (where the DA game actually came out after the show was canceled). The screenshotsrevealed seem to display more suburban architecture than gameplay, but the game will involve taking on the role of anew neighboring housewife. It has not been disclosed, however, whether you can take prisoners in your basement as ofyet.
