Celebrity endorsed gaming goes nuts as E3 kicks off
We know you like Paris Hilton and if you've ever watched Desperate Housewives (admit it, you have) you'll also have lusted over Eva Longoria.
Both Eva and Paris are currently appearing at E3, promoting new games. First up is Desperate Housewives: The Game which is like The Sims but allows you to 'meet' characters such as the adulterous sex bomb Gabrielle Solis, played by Eva Longoria. The idea is that you play a new housewife, moving in to Wisteria Lane in a bid to live a happy life. Of course, with murder, kinky sex and prison sentences making frequent appearances in the TV show, it's unlikely that your virtual life will be 'happy'.
This is the road you'll be jogging down. Fail to exercise and you'll pack on the pounds.
Meanwhile, Paris Hilton is due to make the short cab ride from her Beverly Hills home to the E3 exhibition centre later today. She'll be hyping her rather odd mobile phone game Paris Hilton's Jewel Jam which is a simple puzzler based around a grid of, er, jewels. After each level, players will get a pic of Paris or a pic of something related to her life. Such as her dog or her car. We can barely contain our excitement.
CVG will be on hand to snap both ladies the minute their stilletos hit the E3 red carpet. We'll also capture their words of wisdom and let you know exactly what their involvement with each game is.

When the police inevitably arrive, you can flick to bird's eye view to hide.
You'll be able to observe everyone in the game and,um, ogle your gardener. If you want.
This is your house. Who knows what will go on behind closed doors...
The road to Wisteria Lane. Expect access to lots of nice cars.
