I'm sure there are quite a few of us who have wanted to get on a game show- the money, the prizes, the gorgeous models, etc. Well, this won't get you closer to that but we may soon be able to play our favorite game show on the PS3.

Emergent Game technologies announced today they are partnering up with Sony Online Entertainment to bring us games based on game show properties for the PlayStation Network. Under the agreement terms SOE will use Gamebryo to develop the games. This is the same game engine that was used for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion by Bethesda.

"Our relationship with SOE aligns Emergent with the exploding casual, online games market and further demonstrates the range of leading entertainment properties and platforms that Gamebryo is capable of supporting. We are thrilled that SOE has chosen us as a technology provider for their studio," said Geoffrey Selzer, CEO of Emergent. "Gamebryo gives SOE's studio the flexibility to design a complete range of titles to address the millions of gamers currently active on the network."

"Gamebryo gives us a great deal of flexibility in creating downloadable titles for the PlayStation Network," said Shalom Mann, Senior Vice President, SOE. "The codebase provides an solid foundation for our Downloadable Games Framework that allows us to bring a variety of different types of games to the PlayStation Network in a fraction of the time had we coded the base engine ourselves."

According to the announcement we won't have long to wait- they are to be released in February 2008 before the annual Game Developers Conference begins.
