'EastEnders' to become a videogame?

EastEnders could become a videogame after UK publisher Eidos reportedly secured the rights to the BBC soap.

According to gaming website MCV, the title is being developed by the company's casual games division, which works on both DS and mobile games.

No details have been released, but the site speculates that it is likely to be a "Sims-style simulation game based around the antics of the Albert Square population".

A spokesperson for Eidos said: “We do not comment on rumour and speculation.”
